Single-Stream Recycling Off to a Great Start

Davenport and Bettendorf residents have more than doubled the amount of paper, plastic, and metal they recycle. About a month ago, the Scott County Waste Commission began single-stream recycling.

On today's WVIK News Focus, Michelle O'Neill talks with the commission's director, Kathy Morris who's thrilled with the new, "Go All In" system. 

In addition, residents of Scott and Rock Island counties no longer have to make appointments to drop off hazardous waste. They can take hazardous materials to the recycling center during regular business hours. They can take old electronics to be de-manufactured, too.

Officially, Michelle's title for 28 years was WVIK News Editor. She did everything there is to do in the newsroom and whatever was needed around the radio station. She also served as Acting News Director from September 2023 - January 2024.
