Re: [TMIC] OT: the Garbage StoryIt's the same way in San Francisco. Total recycling, going back many years. The last time I visited, May 2004, most dwellings had 4 receptacles for the disposal of: glass and metals in one can, papers in another, yard waste in a third one, and everything else in number 4. Way to go, EssEff........!!!

They gave us different colored bins and we sorted our items. They had a separate truck and it had compartments. The money collected from the recycling was used to offset our garbage bills, which were lower than other towns in our area, and it wasn't in our taxes either. It was great, but you get what you get where you live. Sometimes you can't fight city hall. You can ALWAYS fight city hall. ALWAYS. Change is made by those who fought for our consciousness, our evolution. Now winning is another matter. And as our environment erodes and quality of life diminishes, I don't want to be part of the waste and erosion. I don't want to die without being able to say I TRIED AND TRIED AND TRIED. Akua --
