Just do what the trash man asks--black or white for garbage, clear for recycling--make their lives easier so they don't have to guess which is garbage and which is recycling. Picking up and hauling trash is a dirty job and more so in the summer. Yes, we pay for that service, but it is a service. Trash men deserve as much respect and graciousness on our part as we should show to other service people. I often thank people for coming to work that day on the occasions I need to interact with them. The fact that they came to work means my taxes are probably not supporting them on welfare, and they themselves are contributing taxes to pay for other services I enjoy.
Buy the correct bags. It's not a lot to ask.
