Wtf? We get city provided bins that get picked up bi-weekly. Is this not the norm?
Having to buy a new bin for each load is absolutely wild.
They provide three bins, one for glass, one for paper, and one for aluminum. I reuse glass, compost paper, and aluminum gets sold for scrap value, so I get very little use out of my recycling service. I cannot use one of the unused bins for plastic recycling either, I tried.
I hate it so much. It's an absolute mockery of environmentalism.
