Do you require only a county, or would the best state or city work as well?

City or State would work.  Thanks.

Hi! Thanks for the question.

There are different organizations which judge the effectiveness of a
particular state, county or city's recycling program.

On a national scope, according to the NRC or The National Recycling
Coalition the city of SOUTH SIOUX CITY, NEBRASKA has the best
community or government recycling program for 2001.

The AF&PA (American Forest and Paper Association) also awards
recycling for paper products on a national and local level.

Very helpful to me.  Not easy to research because of the subjective
nature of the question.
