PLEASE Continue to recycle everything possible.

Out trash situation (private owned by the developer) is much different than county pick-up by Waste Management.

I notice many residents are ambivalent regarding recycling unfortunately, meaning if it's convenient to do so, they do; if not -- they don't.

However, to me the worst offender is our developer. He requires residents to buy plastic bags (not to mention that the bags must be clear) for all recyclables. Most cities and towns supply residents with bins for this purpose. Multiply 50,000 homes times twice a week pickup with all residents having multiple plastic bags. I'm sure everyone can imagine what this does to a landfill, not to mention our environment. It's disgraceful!
