Recycling Expands in SF...
(Tuesday, 22 July 2008) Written by greeniac24
I only today found out that since Earth Day in April 2008, the city of San Francisco has expanded its recycling program to include all plastics that are numbered 1-6, so basically all plastic except #7. This I thought was something that should have been publicized better, given that all our recycling bins are no longer accurate (previously, other than plastic bottles, only #2, 4, & 5 were recyclable). I found out because when I went to the Tuesday Farmer's Market at the Ferry building, which I go to every week, I splurged and purchased a delicious raw food apricot cheesecake. I went to the disposal station, put my plate into the compost, and went to put the plastic fork into the trash but was stopped by the attendant who told me about the new policy.

Now I was thrilled to find out about this development, but at the same time was struck with a wave of guilt for all the #1 and #6 plastic that I could have been recycling for the past 3 months but instead sent to the landfill. How was it that I didn't know? Now I will just have to take on the mission of spreading the word!
