- I live in Tucson, Az and a recycling program has recently been started
- in my neighborhood. My city council person volinteered out neighborhood
- for the debugging phase. He said that other council members are afraid
- to start the program in their neighborhoods. You know how those urbanites
- can be when it comes to doing the right thing.
-
- Anyway, each house is given one container for their recyclables. You
- can put aluminum, plastic, glass (all colors), paper, and cardboard.
- There are some limitations like no glossy paper etc... The people have
- a choice, they don't have to do it. I'm not sure what the plan is for
- the future, that is when it becomes city wide.
