Markbsae - If you read the article you would see that we won't have any choice but to pay the fee. Personally, I recycle and take my stuff in about once a month so I doublt if I am adding a lot of extra pollution (plus I make sure to trip link because of the cost of gas). I too would like to know who is going to collect the fees for the recylables. Is it the hauler or the City? I paid the recycling fees when I bought the can/bottles so I am entitled to collect the rebate when I recycle. Now I will have to pay the fee for a blue bin so that someone else can get my rebate? There should be some choice here on whether people choose to use the blue bins or not. Unfortunately some people will continue to toss their recyclables even though they have an alternative (the blue bins). I just get tired of getting forced into everything and having to pay for it.

#1 the truck picking up hundreds of bins of recyclables omits considerably less co2 than you driving your own to the recycling center. #2 the program is to help society as a whole. If you don't want to participate then don't.

I'm not dragging another cart out to the street. We are both disabled & hard enough to get regular tan & green barrel out. Green goes out maybe 1 a month. It's like the smart meters you have to take the. What happen to our freedom?

who gets the money from everything that is recycled from these blue bins?
