I think they said that the recyclers will not pick them up.  Of course, neither will the regular garbage truck folks. Which means that if you want it picked up, guess who has to do the transfer?

We keep our blue bins inside our fence.  Some of our neighbors keep them in the garage.  Then they go out early on the morning that they are to be picked up.

So, I was really really happy about this the night I got home and brought the bins around to the back and such..... but...

anyone know how blue bins that end up filled with regular trash get handled?

We have pickup from Waste Management and they gave us a specific day of the week every two weeks. If you are in a city pickup zone they are not so specific. I would still keep them inside as much as possible.

It really does appear that the City has made huge strides and is effectively recycling quite a bit of material through the blue bin program, unlike the old blue bag nonsense. It's regrettable that the blue bag scam continues to resonate today and taint the reputation of the blue bins.

More recycling would be better but the blue bins are a significant step in the right direction.
