The following are in response to “Recycling the Recycling Bins: Providence Replaces All Trash Bins to Clean Up Waste Program”:
I have appreciated the Eye’s consistent coverage of the changes to the city’s recycling collection. The city has said that it “hopes” the larger size will result in better recycling habits. Has this, or any of the other anticipated savings and improvements, been tried in any other cites? Is there data to back up these statements? Or is it modeling or conjecture? I’m skeptical about taking them at their word.

What are the rules for apartment buildings? They have those big dumpsters where everything is thrown in, no possibility of separating recyclables.

I recall from your previous article on the recycling that the East Side has high compliance. Are things we can learn from that area that can be applied to the other neighborhoods?
