Just last month our town here in MA switched to brand new recycleable trucks and 2 new giant bins for every house.

Here i am looking like a sucker trying to sort all this crap out.

Argh!!!!!!

One blue bin here, put all recyclables in it.

They started the green yard waste bin a couple of years ago, I told them I compost all of my yard waste so I asked not to leave me a bin, I don't need it.

And to not charge me for it.

They said it's free, so there is no charge.

They make compost and sell it.

I produce about 1/2 the smallest container of garbage each week, but put it out anyway.

Sometimes I rebel and put recyclables in it...

Now our town is trying to get to 90% recylables and want us to sign a "pledge" thingie.

They are nuts.
