Hm. Oddly enough, our city is going from 3 categories (cardboard, newspapers, and all the rest of recyclables) to one - recyclables. What recyclables will include is going to expand greatly, and it all goes in one city-provided bin, and gets picked up every other week. I think I'm going to like it. Apparently they'll have to do the sorting at some central location, but pickup will be "automated" now, so that's supposed to save money.
Starts this fall - should be interesting.
