On June 25, 2014 the Lakewood Observer had a story by Matt Smith exposing the city’s flaws in its scrap and recycling program. Mr. Smith acknowledges that Lakewood’s residential recycling plan is effective, but states that businesses are not held responsible to recycle and that public locations lack the needed containers to allow for recycling. According to Smith: “the main culprit that is filling our landfills—the commercial businesses and public spaces in the city”.

According to the city of Lakewood’s website, a Mandatory Recycling Ordinance went into effect in 2009. Why are Lakewood’s businesses not participating in the Lakewood recycling efforts? Is the city fearful of agitating its local commercial base? Recycling, scrap and salvage related issues in the city are managed by the Department of Public Works, more specifically, the Division of Refuse & Recycling in Lakewood. We encourage Mr. Smith to follow up with management of Lakewood’s Division of Refuse and recycling to address the problem.
