Ugh! San Antonio is starting to really pizz me off with the recycle crud. I was OK with it but they keep twisting and developing new rules. I’ve had about enough of the cra*!
Recycle has to be dumped directly into those ginormous cans, no plastic bags allowed. Three of me could fit in that durn can—it is HUGE. They have all sorts of water usage restrictions, so cleaning my can on recycle day doesn’t fall under my water allowance.
I keep my cans in the garage and I don’t like having a dirty stinking can! Grrrrrr!
I wish there was a private company—I would pay them on top of my freakin’ city charges to be allowed to use plastic garbage bags!
No plastic bags? Most of my trash is thrown away in Wal-Mart bags.
Thankfully my town doesn’t offer curbside collection. They have the town transfer station where you can bring trash if you want for a fee.
Most resents use one of the local private contractors that does curbside collection. Pay them about $200 a year and they deliver a trash and recycle barrel on wheels. Once a week they pick up the trash and every other week recycling using the hydraulic arms. If you don’t recycle, they don’t care.
You don’t have to have a stinky can, just be sure and wash out all your recyclables before they go in. I recommend using lots of extra hot soapy water. That way you can be best for the environment.
