LOS ANGELES : Council OKs Measure on Buying Recycled Goods
- Share via

The council directed city departments to seek out recycled goods when possible and to eliminate bid specifications that favor the purchase of new goods.
But the call for a 10% “bid preference” for recycled products was sent back to committee for more study.
