City Apartment Recycling Program Receives Excellence Award June 30, 2009
The City of San José, in partnership with Recycle Plus contractor Green Waste Recovery, was selected to receive the prestigious "2009 Recycling System Gold Excellence Award" from the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA)
The awards team commended the City for its "successful efforts in achieving the highest level of excellence in solid waste management" by diverting nearly 80% of apartment waste from local landfills, due to GreenWaste’s garbage processing system which removes recyclables and composts the remaining organic material.
SWANA is the leading professional association in the solid waste field, serving over 8,000 members from government and private industry.

H1N1 Virus Update June 10, 2009
The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the level of the H1N1 influenza pandemic alert to Phase 6, which reflects how far the virus has spread. At the same time, WHO announced that the intensity of the virus is considered moderate. Based on present evidence, the overwhelming majority of patients experience mild symptoms and make a rapid and full recovery, often in the absence of any form of medical treatment.
Swine flu is a serious virus infection that should be treated with caution, but the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) urges a common sense approach. For more CDC information on swine flu go to:
