I think you're asking permission to throw your recyclables away in the trash. I get your point because there are no public recycle bins anywhere in TV. It becomes a personal choice and boils down to how serious one is about recycling.


A good first step would be to install recycle bins beside the trash cans in the public spaces.


And for anyone who thinks that would be ugly, so are land fills, plus they smell!
