Recession takes $1.6 billion toll on world's two top automakers
DETROIT — A combined third-quarter loss exceeding $1.6 billion was reported yesterday by the world's two biggest automakers, badly bruised by the recession that has severely weakened consumer demand for their vehicles.
The Associated Press
The losses by General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., when added to the expected loss by Chrysler Corp., likely will total about $2 billion.
That probably will ensure that 1991 will be the worst year financially in Big Three history unless the automakers can show a stunning turnaround in the year's final three months. Industry analysts say that's highly unlikely.
Automakers report losses
GM said that lose $1.1 billion, or $1.88 per share, for the July-September period. Ford lost $574.4 million, or $1.20 per share. Chrysler, which reports next week, is expected to show a loss of about $400 million.

Recycling downtown might get easier

Recyclers rejoice! Recycling containers might soon dot the corners of downtown Lawrence.
Patricia Marvin, Lawrence waste reduction and recycling coordinator, said she planned to launch a citywide campaign to promote recycling.
Part of the campaign will be an effort to acquire city money for four aluminum recycling bins downtown.
One of the biggest problems with motivating people to recycle has been a lack of recycling bins, Marvin said.

"Idon want to have to carry a can in my purse all day in order to recycle it," she said.
Martin said the downtown bins would make recycling easy. She wants the four recycling bins placed on alternating blocks by spring.
hating bay area. The bins would be attractively constructed to complement the beauty of downtown, she said.
Fifteen to 20 tons of aluminum cans are dumped in Lawrence's landfill every year, Marvin said.
"I go out to landfill, and I see cans everywhere," she said. "That's just dead wrong. If we start recycling those cans, it could be an extra $100,000 collected into the local economy a year."
Sue Ask, KU associate environmental umbsudman, said the problems of recycling extended beyond collecting aluminum cans.
Along with increased collection, more businesses are needed to transport the aluminum from the collection site to the recycler, she said.
However, Marvin said that Lawrence's aluminum transportation resources were operating at far less than capacity.
She said members of Community Living Opportunities, 2113 Delaware St., could transport the aluminum that would be collected downtown.

CLO is a nationwide program
The workers earn wages from the recycling revenue. Stewart said that these were the first paychecks some members had ever received.
Stewart said CLO had room to expand its recycling program and could transport extra aluminum collected in downtown recycling bins.
Marvin said the profits from recycling aluminum outweighed the cost of transporting it.
"I would like to see not so many cans hitting the streets, hitting the river," she said. "They're just too valuable."
