An interactive discussion about taking our waste reduction policies beyond the current, well-established curbside recycling programs with the goal of eventually reducing, reusing, recycling and composting 90 percent of our overall waste. That's what people mean when they say "zero waste" and that's what all communities should strive for. Arlington and other DFW cities can take the lead.
