The Recyclergy
The Recyclergy by Jeremy Kaller. (Running Time: 33:59)
For decades the San Francisco Bay Area has been a hub for the recycling movement. Even the garbage companies have a long history of recycling practices. After the first Earth Day celebration in 1970, community, non-profit recycling centers appeared in schools, garages, and neighborhood centers -- with the goal of bringing recycling to their cities. Now in 2006, only two non-profit recycling organizations remain in San Francisco.
Despite the lack of surviving community recycling centers, the Bay Area is still home to a unique community of recyclers who push the envelope of possibilities.
Featuring interviews with recycling pioneers and music by Rube Waddell, The Recyclergy is an entertaining examination of a fading subculture.
