A Recycling conundrum
May. 26th, 2005 09:20 amSo, a recycling conundrum. In Attleboro, you're supposed to either put your cardboard/paper recycling in a brown paper shopping bag, or in something else that is labeled "RECYCLE". Usually I have the brown paper shopping bag, but not this week, so I just loaded it all into one of the boxes I had unpacked from moving, and wrote "Recycle" on all four sides, in ink that did not even run in the rain.
They didn't take it! They just left it for the trash people. WAH.
Why is this?
I mean, I understand them leaving the many large, soggy-from-rain, flattened moving boxes, but this was a small box with regular recycling inside (8 1/2 x 11 sized paper and cardboard).
What good is it trying to be a good citizen when the city won't take your damn cardboard?
