I said the same thing suse. I’m thinking many here at LGF support recycling.

We are very lucky here in Columbus. We have special blue 55 gallon recycle containers on wheels that we put out where our trash is picked up and Rumpke Recycling picks up every other week. They even built a big recycling center just for the area. Pretty efficient and modern from what I’ve been told. There must be some money in it for it to be this extensive.

Our small town has weekly pickup of single-stream recycle and ordinary waste. They use conventional garbage trucks which toss the containers using an hydraulic arm. Word is that the material is not as valuable as it once was because it went to China, and their consumption is down. We would do it at break-even, however, because we are in an expensive hurt for landfill capacity, and it takes a large volume out of that.
