The U.S. turns 250 tomorrow, but did you know that this year is ALSO the 50th anniversary of the first-ever residential recycling truck... which premiered right here in MA? ♻️ Time for a quick history lesson!
According to @northeastrecycling: MA received the first-ever EPA recycling grants in 1976. The state used the money for weekly multi-material curbside collection programs in two cities, and rolled out the nation`s first residential recycling truck.
Apparently big things happen on `76 years... and in MA. 😎 Learn more: link in bio.
