Mark is correct that Mpls has put a lot of effort into teaching us how to recycle, and I am grateful to live in a city that takes it as seriously as Mpls does. I have only ever had one frustration with Mpls's system, plastics. Almost all plastic products have a triangular label with a number in the center on it denoting the type of plastic. Mpls has never been able to tell me which numbers to recycle, they just describe the type of plastic containers they will accept.
Mpls, please tell me what numbers you recycle, not what types of containers. Thanks.

That investment has paid off by making our city a leader as far as quality and purity of collected recyclables and it likely played a large part in getting three bids that were all improvements over the current contract with BFI as far as the marketing agreements (revenues from selling collected recyclables) are concerned. That's something that the Solid Waste and Recycling division of Public Works should be commended for. Moving to single-sort would be a huge step backwards in that regard. REMINDERS: 1.
