Waste Management is urging people to recycle, and recycle right, because of a shortage of raw material to produce packaging, paper products and medical supplies.
"Customers who are making the medical supplies or making a tissue don't have the raw materials," said Mark Snedecor, director of Waste Management's recycling operations for Colorado.
