Municipalities in charge of their recycling program under Wisconsin's Recycling Law, known as Responsible Units (RUs), are eligible for state grant funds to help offset some of their program costs. Where does this grant money come from? What are the issues with the current formula for calculating how much an RU will receive? What are some possible solutions to achieve a more equitable distribution, and to help promote efficiencies and innovation?
