No matter how well people are trained to segregate trash for recycling, if the is no really viable market , it is a horrible waste of funds .Stop the collections and re focus the funds on something than produces a better return. I don't have a suggestion about what this would be , but any minor improvement on current results would be positive. Stop the financially wasteful weekly collections.
