Here, all they take is plastic & glass you set out in your own
container once a month, and newspapers you tie into bundles
that you set out once a month. There are no other recyclables
collected curbside in my town.

If I could put out mixed paper, now, most of my garbage would
be recycling too. As it is, that's voluntary.
