Also true in Randolph, NJ. Not only did NJ start requiring recycling in the '80s, they raised taxes to pay for marketing the recycled items.
Despite rinsing and washing the cat food cans, it cost $300 to get rid of the ant invasion in our house.
In Muskegon, MI, as soon as the recession hit, picking up recycling was the first thing to go. People complained so much they reinstituted it, but only if you paid for it yourself. How earth friendly.
