Yo Philly: Is your recycling actually getting recycled?

From staffing shortages to overflowing sidewalks, trash pickup in Philly is far from perfect. But when it comes to recycling, does the same hold true?

For Broke in Philly, Green Philly, and Billy Penn, reporter Meir Rinde is investigating how often the city trash mixes, or indiscriminately dumps trash in with your recycling. Separating out recyclables should be the norm, but that doesn’t always happen. So, have you noticed your recycling getting lumped in with plain ol’ trash?

Fill out this survey to help Meir, and send over any questions to tips@billypenn.com. It closes on April 29.
