Boise has recently taken a step towards a greener city as they expand their recycling program.

The change comes thanks to improvements made by Republic Services Idaho Recycling Center, which has made it possible for residents to fill their blue carts with two new types of plastic.

Rachele Klein, the Municipal Director for Republic Services, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this change.
