San Francisco is probably America’s most eco-friendly city. It currently recycles an amazing 72% of its waste and has a successful public transport system.
Now, the city hopes to increase that recycling rate to 90% with the introduction of mandatory composting.
The San Francisco Board Of Supervisors voted 9-2 to require residents and businesses to sort recyclables, general rubbish and recyclables for weekly collection. Those failing to comply with the new ordinances, which take effect in the autumn, will be hit with fines.
