I plan  on keeping my blue box and putting out all the bottles w deposits 
in  that.  

It will save the bottle collectors from struggling with  the big green 
barrel, and will cut down on the noise outside my bedroom  window.  

Maybe we can start a trend- call 'em kindness  boxes.

A few musings: 
I think I understand the psychology of switching the size of the barrels  
but I’m not sure at all that it is a wise move. 
We recycle curbside just about everything we can here, and donate used  
clothing etc. The most recycling (not counting yard waste) that  I can  
remember was filling the equivalent of three recycling boxes, and that was  when we 
were cleaning out paper files.  Even with bottles and cans from  a very 
large party I can’t imagine ever filling the 95 gallon can with  recycling, 
unless we didn’t bring it out every week, but that’s not allowed  if we want 
the garbage picked up. 
Most weeks we barely make a dent in the green garbage barrel … we just  don’
t have that much waste after composting food scraps and recycling all we  
can. So in normal times, the new grey barrel should be  okay. 
But as Mrs B. noted, there are a few times in the year that we do fill  the 
full green barrel.  
I’m thinking  that those non-recyclers in the city who need the  extra 
space will just dump their garbage into the green barrel (along with  the people 
who won’t pay attention to the changes and are habituated to the  green 
barrel equaling trash). With pick up automated, I would predict that  the 
recycling folks are going to have a lot more unwanteds on their hands  for some 
time. 
And I’m wondering about the metal and aluminum trollers negotiating the  
green cans. Perhaps it will dissuade them, or will we see lots of dumped  over 
green cans throughout our neighborhoods?
