Over the summer, our area switched over to a single stream recycling program. They use a giant bin and come every other week. We can now recycle paper, plastic, glass, & aluminum all in one pile. Apparently participation in the recycling program doubled when this started and now more than 70% of my neighbors are using it. The municipal district gets a $20 per ton rebate and last month they got a check for $1200. Crazy! (The money is going to park services.)

I cannot believe how great this for us. The amount of garbage we put out weekly has dropped dramatically and we fill up the recycling bin pretty quickly. (All that junk mail, sheesh.)
