Some of my neighbors put out their recycling out on the sidewalk last Wednesday, but in fact, recycling gets collected every other Wednesday, and tomorrow is considered a ‘Red Wednesday’ for collection. Please click here for more information.
The confusion is somewhat understandable, but when the recycling is left out, it collects non-recyclable trash and a lot of stuff blows all over the place with wind, so please do not leave recycling out on the sidewalk all week in the future.
There will probably be a lot of phone books in this week’s bins, since new ones were delivered in the last two weeks.
The phone book thing is so sad. All this money, all these resources used to print all these phone books we don’t need. So sad our society is set up to be so wasteful. Can we not stop this and all the junk mail that goes straight into recycling bins also? There’s got to be a better way.
Funny…people complain when jobs are shipped overseas to another person, but when a job is lost to technology, people call this ‘progress’.
I agree that the phone books are annoying and I hate all the junk mail, but they are keeping many people employed: United State Post Office workers. Further more, many people can not afford a computer or iphone to pay their bills online or look for a business on Google.
Too bad that the people who complain about rich people kicking the homeless out of Monroe Park don’t make these same talking points!!
Innovation drives business, not vice versa.
