I just published an op-ed in AZ Central, titled Lawmakers raided funds meant for recycling,
raising fees or scaling back programs. In this piece, we outline our recently published policy memo and ask Arizonans to sign our petition asking for the recycling fund to be fully financed. This fund has been zeroed out by legislators, despite the continued collection of the landfill disposal fee.
Since the publication of our op-ed this morning, we have already received an additional 250 signatures on this petition. My hope is to continue to draw attention to this issue and ensure that municipal recycling programs are properly supported by the state.
