Ames is making a big shift—ending its outdated waste-to-energy system. Instead of burning trash (which uses mostly natural gas and barely powers the city), Ames will focus on expanding recycling and composting. This change is expected to cut costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and help residents keep more food waste out of landfills. With a new facility on the way and a partnership with Carroll County for landfilling, the spotlight is now on reducing what we throw away. How do you feel about this move? Will it change how you sort your trash or compost at home? #Business #Industry #Ames
