Recycling Shake-up

In this Thursday, Sept. 6, 2018, photo, Ben Harvey, an owner at EL Harvey & Sons, a waste and recycling company, poses on bundles of residential mixed fiber, comprised of a variety of paper and cardboard, in Westborough, Mass. The company is currently stacking and holding onto about 2,500 tons of the material, which is awaiting a destination where a recycler will process the bundles. Recycling programs across the United States are shutting down or scaling back because of a global market crisis blamed on contamination at the curbside bin. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
