Disruptions in the global markets—particularly China’s import ban and now the recent tariffs China is enacting on North America—have created some headwinds for U.S. solid waste and recycling companies. And those disruptions will end up trickling down to residents’ pocketbooks.
Chittenden County, Vt., is currently feeling the impacts of global upheaval, and the Chittenden Solid Waste District is urging residents to be more aware of what belongs in a recycling bin and what does not. It also noted that residents need to get better at reducing how much waste they generate.
