Collection vs. Recycling Increased Diversion Increased Diversion May require more facilities May require more facilities Producer responsibility approach may be needed Producer responsibility approach may be needed Does collection ensure recycling? Does collection ensure recycling? Is recycling occurring in California? Is recycling occurring in California? Or is it just collection Or is it just collection Does shipping recyclables out-of-state for recycling reduce carbon footprint? Does shipping recyclables out-of-state for recycling reduce carbon footprint? Should we increase recycling capacity in- state? Should we increase recycling capacity in- state?
