Reply #27: I don't doubt that.

We had been recycling for years, using those blue plastic bags to put our recycling in. I know plastic bags are evil, but I figured they recycled them as well. Well, recently they gave us open bins to put all of our recycling in. They said we don't need to sort anything anymore, because "a machine does that for us." Well, we recycle quite a bit, so the container ends up overflowing, so you have to worry about the wind throwing recyclables all over the place; or when it rains, everything getting soggy and then you have to bring back in a wet container.

It seems like they are trying to make it harder on us. We live in an area that gets a decent amount of rain and a good amount of wind, so open containers don't seem the best idea. Between that, and some other decisions they have made, it's like they are trying to discourage us from recycling.
