US City in Dire Recycling Crisis

For decades, American citizens have been following a waste management scheme which only recently has been proving inadequate for resolving the recycling problem. In this video, experts and citizens talk about what management schemes are doing to their areas and waste footprints. People in the United States have been misinformed for over a decade on what materials should go in certain bins, therefore, waste mismanagement is an issue that needs to be addressed before more damage is done. The importance of responsible disposal of waste items is necessary to understand in order to safely progress.Unlike countries in Africa and Asia, the United States lacks a market for recycled plastics or discarded materials hence it either ends up in landfill sites, incinerated, or littered around city areas.
