Recycling has been a hot topic here in Augusta, largely because of contamination. But what IS contamination? Wishful recycling, "wish-cycling," happens when you are unsure if an item can be recycled, but you put it in your recycling bin with the hopes that the facility will be able to sort it out and recycle the material. Despite good intentions, those items do more harm than you might think. Join Vanessa Berry from ecomaine to learn about the recycling process and how "wish-cycling" has created global problems for the recycling industry and what Augusta residents can do to help.
