When I bought this house I don't think the bins had ever been washed. It was over my gag threshold so I found a pro.

It's a pretty sweet setup. Figured it would be all nasty but the guy never even gets his hands wet. Just pulls a couple levers.

He also has a window cleaning subscription which is mostly a necessity after monsoon season out here. Its a pretty solid hustle he's got going as I see him all over the east valley.

what I wonder is how much of it really gets recycled.

paper/cardboard. There is a point where it cant be recycled anymore.

The other thing thats a bit annoying is our recycling program is one guy in a truck. Truck pulls up then it lifts and dumps.

So if you have one thing causing the lid on the bin to be open even just a little bit it throws off the lift system and stuff spills everywhere.

So they won't pick it up and will leave a warning sticker on your bin shaming your ass LMAO

Since my wife buys nearly everything off Amazon I'm driving to the recycle center drop off every other weekend with an abundance of Amazon boxes since they won't all fit in my bin with the lid closed.

In Chicago, they'd take anything. You could have someone sideswipe the front bumper off your car, just throw it in your recycle bin and they'd take it. Probably because they're just dumping it all in some low income neighborhood anyway. So I racked up a few warning stickers for the first couple weeks I was out here.

LMAO

Yeah, mine has a fill line that is often ignored, but I try cramming bottles and shit towards the bottom so they aren't laying on top of everything and roll off. I've heard that a time or two, plus paper and stuff that blows back into the yard.

I don't think we have shaming stickers though.

Welcome to KC (fly over country).....

I totally get it. I think someone mentioned above its about communication or lack there of.

They changed the non-recyclable items list and no one knew about it.

The fill line, that's just being new to the area and probably my responsibility to look into.

LOL not one of my neighbors said a thing when I took out all our moving boxes and set them to the side of the recycle bin on the curb LMAO Bet they were all peering out their windows just waiting for the truck to come by and shame my bin.

Now that I know the rules I stay in compliance.

I always put glass & trash in my recycle ans they take it

I honestly never understood why they didn't do the carts.

Seems like a lot of effort to print off your posts

We've had specific cans with lids out here in the sticks for years. It's about time the greater shithole started cleaning their trash up.

It's the only way we can all finally come together and pretend we're not shipping half that shit to China where they dump it in a river.

Gotta keep those big rats well fed! ROFL

LOL WTF. It's 2023 and KC is just now getting this?

I've had carts forever but I live in a suburb where you pay for trash service, if you live in the actual KC city limits you didn't have carts just bags on the curb which never made sense to me ever...looks great when animals have trash all over the street etc.

Next door neighbor got one, along with the rest of the block. **** me I guess.
