Here's where i'm coming from: We, the residents, are doing our sanitation company a favor, by recycling. I am a huge proponent of recycling. But . . . We have to buy a specific type of bag for recycling??? Within the villages, if 50,000 homes must use these plastic bags, do you know what it is doing to our landfills and the environment? Our sanitation company makes money with the recycled materials we give them. We are doing them the favor.

Waste management gives their customers recycling bins and we have to purchase special bags!!?! There's something wrong with this picture???
exactly my point for years. We pay them to pick up the recycle materials, we buy the bags and they make a lot of money using the recyle material in our bags and which we paid them to pick up. Before i moved to the villages, i was provided recycle bags to use.
