Effective January 1, 2008 all businesses in North Carolina licensed to sell alcohol will be required to recycle the bottle, cans or other containers used to serve it. While some businesses are not to happy about this program citing the limited amount of storage space available for recycling, others are ecstatic and are eager to be part of the solution. If a municipality has the capacity to not only pick up but store and transport these recycled items then it is a great first step for businesses to take - and I am sure their customers will be singing (and drinking) their praises. Bartender, can I get another?
