BOSTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is praising the National Hockey League, the Boston Bruins and the New Jersey Devils for successful food recycling efforts.
The EPA said the NHL has been working to reduce the amount of cardboard, paper, plastics, glass and aluminum it sends to landfills.
