When you put a milk jug or a pop can on the curb for recycling, it's just the start of a journey. It's what happens next that's really interesting. On the next sound of ideas, we'll follow the milk jug all the way through the recycling process and let you judge for yourself: Is it worth the effort? The market for recycled materials is strong --you might actually be wearing the water bottle you drank from--and our will to recycle is growing stronger, too, even without the threat of fines. All about recycling in Northeast Ohio, Tuesday at 9 on 90.3. The program is an encore presentation of The Sound of Ideas from August 31, 2010.
