Re: Curbside Recycling
I can tell that you feel strongly about this issue! I'm all for
curbside recycling, though. I know alot of people just plain don't
have the time to go to the center - so they just throw their paper,
cans, etc. away.
I didn't have a chance to read the article. What is this costing the
city? What are they taking away? When does it start, or is it just
in the planning stages?
