The Town in Maine, where I lived most of my life, requires that recyclables be put curbside in bins. Regular trash goes in special green trash bags which must be purchased at a cost of $2.50 per bag. It is painful to spend $25 on a package of 10 bags, but I can attest to the fact that on trash day far more is recycled than is put in trash bags. While I would not like to see bins along our streets, this system works. I am not going to complain about buying a big box of clear recycle bags at Walmart. And, yes, they must be clear so that the contents are visible. It is the only way the trash company employees can see which bags hold recyclables.
