Despite all the negativity around various recycling programs across the U.S., recycling efforts in Columbus, Ohio, remain strong amid China’s ban on imported waste.
According to The Columbus Dispatch, materials recycled in Columbus travel only about 250 miles to various sites, while some items don’t leave the state. The Dispatch spoke with Steve Sargent, director of Cincinnati-headquartered Rumpke Recycling, who said Rumpke is not really dependent on foreign markets.
