Now why would we go to all that trouble?
We have a similar service up north and I find the TV service to be exemplary. EVERYTHING is recycled as energy. All things are just different forms of energy. The other recycling programs are quite primitive compared to the one used in TV.
As for not using cans. What a terrific idea. Cans make noise, cans smell, talk about inviting creatures to your home! Cans blow away in the wind, cans take time for garbage collectors. What we have instead are bags. Everyone has garbage disposal so there is almost no food that goes into the bags. The ones hubby buys for us, smell wonderful, lavender or something. Critters and insects dislike it. We can put everything pretty well in the bags.
The garbage collectors come pick up and are gone in seconds flat. No one else has better service anywhere that I know of, unless it is your maid taking the garbage with her.
