Recycling bottles, paper, and FOOD?

Beginning in September more than 85-hundred Los Angeles families will be recycling their wasted food.

The newest program will be launched in North Central and South L-A to reduce the amount of city garbage.

The plan estimates that eight to 20 pounds of food waste per household could be recycled.

About 27 percent of black-bin waste in landfills is food waste—and residents dump about 230-thousand tons of food scraps every year.

The 140-thousand dollar--one-year trial program will be paid through existing trash fees.

If the project goes city-wide it will cost around 13 Million dollars.

Show Me the Contract...then the Money

Former “Quincy M-E” star Jack Klugman may finally get to see his contract.

A Los Angeles court judge urged N-B-C Universal to show the actor his contract to see if the studio owes Klugman any money.

The judged stopped short of forcing the studio to reveal the contract, hoping both sides could reach an agreement by early August.

Klugman claims he lost his contract when his agent died and N-B-C is refusing to provide a copy.

The 85-year-old Klugman says he should receive 25 percent of the show’s net profit—which he says is around 250 Million dollars.

N-B-C says the series had lost 66 Million dollars through 2006.
