We have single stream here, I think that it is good because its easier for residents to participate -
In Philly the city ask you to separate, they even give out tickets if you don’t. Then the city truck comes & dumps all recycling & trash with garbage in the same truck ? I wonder if the city is really recycling ? -
Thank goodness ours is single stream. When we were stationed in Germany we had the yellow bag for most things and then we had paper, yard waste, and bottles had to either go back to the store to be put in the machine (now they do plastics too) and after we are done a ticket comes out that is a credit we can use in the store when we pay for our groceries. Otherwise we have bubbles downtown that we can put the glass in. Separate bubbles for separate colored bottles. If you have the wrong items in your trash bins you get fined. Now most apartment complexes lock their trash cans til trash day so they don't get fined.
