I am more concerned with what the local garage is sweeping and squeegeeing down the drain. Chemicals are difficult to get rid of. They are basically dumped in the most convenient location.

Glass, plastic, aluminum, steel, ok, its a problem but at least we know the location they end up.

@Michelle – I completely agree; it should be a requirement for apartment buildings to provide recycling to their tenants. I think it should be mandatory for restaurants and other places that serve alcohol, too — I can’t believe in this day and age, people just throw away glass, plastic, and aluminium. It blows my mind.

Am sorry I missed this. I would like to express my opinion about my downtown apartment building’s refusal to provide recycling period. This shouldn’t be optional for management companies, it should be a city requirement.

Only one comment so far .. I guess we really aren’t very passionate about recycling.

I took the survey. For the question “what would you do if your recycling bin disappeared” I answered “steal yours”.

In general I recycle as much as a can, but we really could do a better job. For instance I saw on TV (so it must be true!) that we don’t actually recycle glass. It is just crushed and taken to the land fill. Anyhow … keep being green, and don’t steal my bin!

We don’t need a survey on garbage collection /recycling issues. We hire experts to determine what is required.

We do need surveys on major issues. But hey, gotta keep peggers happy and feeling like they are making a contribution , or something
