Dear Editor:
This letter is in reference to the article about the city closing down 10 percent of the recycling centers. The reason given by the City Council is to cut costs because the centers are not being used.
Since recycling is essential for reducing carbon emissions and waste, it would be more beneficial if the city made efforts to encourage people to use the recycling centers we have.
It would be a much better solution if a small amount is spent to create public awareness of the locations of the recycling centers and about the importance for everyone that people use the centers.
A well-run recycling center actually generates revenue when they find sources who will buy their recycled products. It the long run, it will cost the City more when the local landfills start growing out of proportion.
I urge readers to call their City Council member and urge them to vote to promote recycling rather than shutting it down.
Sincerely,
