[Summit] the new recycling barrels

[Hope for Health]

Fact - as of now, glass is NOT being actually recycled by the city.
I am waiting for confirmation from Whole Foods re: whether they
are doing so.

Blessings,

Every item that is recyclable that is removed by gleaners means less revenue for the city, and eventually higher taxes or fees for the rest of us, since we are all in this together.  I recommend following the recycle program as it's set up and spending one's own money on kindness outside of the recycle process.

I plan on keeping my blue box and putting out all the bottles w deposits in that.  

It will save the bottle collectors from struggling with the big green barrel, and will cut down on the noise outside my bedroom window.  


Maybe we can start a trend- call 'em kindness boxes.

A few musings: I think I understand the psychology of switching the size of the barrels but I’m not sure at all that it is a wise move. We recycle curbside just about everything we can here, and donate used clothing etc. The most recycling (not counting yard waste) that  I can remember was filling the equivalent of three recycling boxes, and that was when we were cleaning out paper files.  Even with bottles and cans from a very large party I can’t imagine ever filling the 95 gallon can with recycling, unless we didn’t bring it out every week, but that’s not allowed if we want the garbage picked up. Most weeks we barely make a dent in the green garbage barrel … we just don’t have that much waste after composting food scraps and recycling all we can. So in normal times, the new grey barrel should be okay. But as Mrs B. noted, there are a few times in the year that we do fill the full green barrel.  I’m thinking  that those
 non-recyclers in the city who need the extra space will just dump their garbage into the green barrel (along with the people who won’t pay attention to the changes and are habituated to the green barrel equaling trash). With pick up automated, I would predict that the recycling folks are going to have a lot more unwanteds on their hands for some time. And I’m wondering about the metal and aluminum trollers negotiating the green cans. Perhaps it will dissuade them, or will we see lots of dumped over green cans throughout our neighborhoods?  ****************************************Gayle L. Gifford, ACFRE
