Recycling Trash Pick-ups
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2010 9:18 am
I have noticed that, especially where I live, the only people that manage to receive the recycling trash pick-up are those that are deemed worthy of it.
Apparently in the city I live in only the middle and upper classes are allowed to recycle.
This distinction is wrong and should be offered to all people not just those that live in what we call "white collar" areas.
I have to drive 25 miles to my nearest recycling center every time I want to take some papers or cans and I have to go to 3 different places in order to be able to recycle. Surely this is causing me to use more gas in my car and thus result in me adding to pollution rather that saving Mother Earth.
If I could get the trash service, and believe me I have tried, it would not only be more economical but would result in less greenhouse gasses.
I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience as me or if I am once again alone in my thoughts?
