Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has announced plans to bring the city to a zero-waste policy by 2030.
"The city of Los Angeles wants all 3,600 tons of trash picked up daily from its residents to be recycled or turned into compost or alternative energy by 2030."
"Under the plan, the city could make up to $100 million annually by sending the extra tons of garbage to newly created recycling facilities around Los Angeles instead of dumping them in landfills."
"Known as the zero-waste plan, it's part of the city's vision to move away from using landfills in urban areas by 2011."
"Whatever cannot be further recycled or composted from the department's 750,000 weekly customers could be turned into alternative fuels, such as biodiesel or electricity, said Alex Helou, assistant director for the city's Bureau of Sanitation."
