C. Nompelis comments: After living my (almost) entire life in Minneapolis and using those green/blue rectangular recycling bins in which you are supposed to place bags of separated stuff, I get a place in Powderhorn which has this alien-looking white dumpster for "co-mingled" recycling.
Brandt: My understanding is that the city's program serves apartment sof up to four units, but that larger buildings contract for their own recycling services. I agree with others about the inadequacy of city recycling bins. A city that truly was interested in encouraging recycling would supply as many bins as needed. I hauled eight or so bags of recycling out to the alley this morning, and that's from just a two-person household. Inevitably one bag breaks, and I have to rebag it. But there's an upside to that. This morning I discovered that my wife had recycled some of my stacks of school data, and found the report on class size I had been trying to find on my desk at work.
