Blaine has ALWAYS had city-organized private contractors for garbage, recycling, and yard waste in the 30+ years we have lived here. It's the only way to go!

US researchers have developed cheap catalysts that could enable chemical recycling through a well-established approach currently used in oil and gas refining. They can withstand exposure to chlorine, commonly released by waste plastic in such processes🧪https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.5c11845
Intrinsically Bifunctional and Tunable Tungsten Carbide Catalysts Enable Efficient PVC-Compatible Polyolefin Hydrocracking
Hydrocracking is a promising route for the chemical recycling of polyolefins (PO), converting them into short hydrocarbons over bifunctional catalysts with metal sites for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, and Brønsted acid sites (BAS) for isomerization and C–C bond cleavage. However, PO feedstocks containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) can release chlorine (Cl) under reaction conditions, deactivating conventional noble metal/zeolite catalysts. Moreover, the lack of site intimacy and the presence of micropores within conventional catalysts create challenges around the transport of high-molecular-weight, sterically encumbered polymer intermediates. Here, we report tungsten carbides (WxC) as a novel type of bifunctional catalysts that address these challenges. W/W2C phases on WxC offer “metal” sites, and −OH on WOx species introduces BAS in close proximity. The “metal”:BAS ratio can be tuned through carburization temperature, leading to a volcano-shaped activity trend reflecting the requirement for metal–BAS balance. Kinetic data demonstrate that each PO chain undergoes sequential cleavage, while trends in cracking ideality and selectivity follow those in short-alkane hydrocracking. On the per-BAS basis, WxC is more efficient than conventional bifunctional catalysts by more than an order of magnitude, due to enhanced polymer transport. They maintain or show increased activity with 10 wt % PVC in the substrate. This work establishes transition-metal carbides as earth-abundant bifunctional catalysts with unique site proximity and heteroatom compatibility. These features, along with the broad structure space for rational tuning, make them promising options to tackle specific challenges that polymer feedstocks present in hydrocracking.

Council member Andria Tupola filed Monday Resolution 26-7, proposing a task force that would review Oahu’s long-term solid waste management strategy, and assess alternative waste reduction, recycling, diversion, and conversion strategies.
Council member proposes task force to explore landfill-free future on Oahu
“Until we turn waste into resources, every landfill is a policy failure,” said Honolulu City Council member Andria Tupola.

Ah, the delights of picking up the recycling strewn through the streets on Second Trash Day--the day after a windy Trash Day. Nope. Our buckets don't have lids, here! :)

"In a survey conducted between December 17 and January 9, Sisson handled 56% of residential visits to recycling yards citywide." Close it and we should brace for a sharp increase in dumping along alleys and creeks, reckless disposal of toxic waste, and increased pressure on weekly sanitation teams
Data displayed briefly last night showed Sisson Street is by far the city's most popular trash & recycling center. Also clear last night: Baltimore DPW wants to close it. tinyurl.com/4az5esfz Never mentioned at the task force meeting: Developer Seawall's desire to buy it.

We only had to put out the refuse bin twice in 2025 🎉

Pity we didn’t have a recycling or garden waste collection the whole year 😭
