[Summit] Uh...Here comes Worse Trash Trouble

[Breslers]

ARGH...  I understand the city needs to "force" people to recycle more, but
the fall-out goes on us neighbors.

The idea the TRASH cans will be smaller is going to be a problem for some
of us.

The people behind us already seem to always have an overflowing can.  Which
is then NOT closed. A bounty for animals. And the raccoons seem to like our
yard for having their dinner-  over and over....   GROSS.

Over the years our upstairs neighbors occasionally overflow their can, and
with some of them it HAS been because that they don't recycle. I could hear
the beer bottles rattling. THEY don't care if the can isn't closed, but we
on the first floor get to smell it.

My landlord tried to buy another can.  They wanted $100 for it, and then
told him they would NEVER empty a third can.  So naturally he didn't do it.

At least one friend of mine has a very large family, plus grand kids that
come to visit.  She DOES recycle. The city refused to give her another
can.  They said she wasn't putting enough in the recycling bins!   She has
currently solved her problem by getting permission from some neighbors to
put her extra bags in their cans.  But if they have smaller cans too, what
is she going to do?  Yeah- she doesn't put as much as some folks in her
recycling bins- when you cook mostly from scratch there isn't much to
recycle!

And I am plenty pro recycling- I used to do it when it meant driving your
own glass to dump and sorting it by color.
