Wisconsin local governments paying bigger share of recycling costs. Here's why and what to know.

The article from MSN discusses the increasing financial burden on local governments in Wisconsin due to changes in recycling costs. Previously, the state provided funding to help offset these costs, but recent budget decisions have led to a significant reduction in state support. This shift means that local governments are now responsible for a larger share of recycling expenses. The reasons for this change include a decrease in state funding for recycling programs, increased costs due to changes in the recycling market, particularly with China's restrictions on importing recyclables, and the overall economic pressures on local budgets. The article highlights the challenges local officials face in managing these costs, the potential impact on recycling programs, including possible reductions in services or increases in local taxes or fees, and provides insights into what residents should know about these changes and how they might affect recycling practices and costs at the local level.
