New Recycling Coordinator Appointed
David Biddle has been appointed to the position of Recycling Coordinator in the Streets Department. This position has been open for over a year, with an acting coordinator filling in. David previously worked for the Greater Philadelphia Commercial Recycling Council where he helped businesses and commercial establishments set up comprehensive waste and recycling programs.
The appointment of a new coordinator was recommended by the RecycleNOW campaign during the Mayoral election. The position is largely paid for by Department of Environmental Protection funds, and will help the city meet its Greenworks goals.
