Greenest little city

Students at the Davidson Academy are taking their recycling efforts (“Go-getter,” Jan. 26) to the next level with a petition started on Change.org to “Require Recycling in Reno Apartments.”

The petition states, “We are dumping all our recyclable materials into a landfill that supports the waste of [more than] 200,000 residents [residing in apartments]! With required recycling written into the Reno Franchise Agreement for single family homes, apartment residents all across our city should have the same access to recycling bins with no impact on their lease.

“Both Carson City and Las Vegas have at least minimal access to recycling for apartments. Why doesn’t Reno? We need to start caring about recycling in our community. This is only the first step to making Reno the Greenest Little City in the World!”
