Deltona, Fla., announced earlier this week that it is suspending its recycling program beginning February 1.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that on January 7, the Deltona County City Commission unanimously voted to suspend the city’s recycling program due to the rising costs of curbside recycling and “uncertainty about how much of that material winds up in the landfill anyway.”
This is a problem that other communities across the country have faced since China banned certain imports and tightened contamination standards.
