Single-Sort Recycling ~ Remembering Poet Tim Murphy - NPR's Cheryl Corley

Monday, July 2 – A growing number of communities are adopting no-sort recycling, relying instead on companies that have automated sorting. Today we learn how that works from Bill Keegan, president of Dem-Con, a solid waste processing company.  ~~~ Poet Tim Murphy died this weekend. Murphy drew on his experience as a political conservative, alcoholic, abuse victim, gay man, Boy Scout, and reborn Catholic to inform his poetry. We revisit a conversation with Murphy when his book, Devotions, was released. ~~~ In this week's Natural North Dakota, Chuck Lura talks about the scarlet globemallow, a perennial wildflower rich in vitamin A.  ~~~ NPR’s Midwest correspondent Cheryl Corley is working on a piece about prison reform in North Dakota. She joins us from our Bismarck studio.
