California Tops the List for Best Household Recycling
No commentsCalifornia cities are on top of the world!
On top of the recycling world, that is. According to a recent survey, a whopping four cities in California showed up in the top ten of a list of the Top 100 US cities with the best household recycling skills — including our very own home town, San Diego! That’s some serious environmental prowess here on the West Coast!
Fresno, the inland city between Los Angeles and San Francisco, topped the list by Men’s Health magazine while Fremont, Anaheim and San Diego — all Californian cities – placed in the top ten.
The cities were judged on their household recycling capabilities by determining if recycling is mandatory, how easy the city makes it for residents to recycle and the percentage of households that participate.
Extra points were given to cities that sorted materials beyond paper, plastic and glass.
Looking good, California! Big cities tended to lie beyond the top ten, with New York City ranking #17 and Los Angeles coming in at #32. Even bustling desert metropolis Las Vegas managed to squeak into the list at #99. But suffice it to say, California came out a clear winner in the race for individual green consciousness. Keep up the good work, California!
