In recycling news, Prince William County in NoVa is proud of its improvement

More than 41 percent of our trash was recycled in 2012, according to a recently released report from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.
That’s a slight increase from the county’s 2011 rate of 40.7 percent and significantly more than the 25 percent required by the state. In fact, our county has beaten the state’s mandatory rate for a long time, said Deborah Campbell, public information officer for the county’s solid waste division.
“We have exceeded the state goals probably for the last 10 or 12 years,” Campbell said. “We do have a regulation that all residents have to recycle and all businesses have to recycle.”
