I lived in NC for 3 years and theven recycling program was a thousand times better.  I'm not paying extra to not recycle 90% of he recycling I produce. In NC I made a bag of trash every week and a half (mind you this was a household if 1-2 people) because they allowed me to recycle so much more. The program up here is so poorly done is practically like, if your recycling has even seen food you can't actually recycle it. Then why will I waste my time and money? I'll leaf it up and take it out myself.
