Who says recycling isn’t working?
As joint owners of the landfill Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County each received a one time dividend of $7 million dollars from landfill funds that were intended to cover some of the expenses to close the landfill. Due to waste diversion efforts, the life of the landfill has increased, and we expect it to remain open for at least 50 more years. The City has chosen to use the funds to support further sustainability efforts.
The “waste diversion efforts” means, in large part, RECYCLING.
