If the contracted trash collectors received more money from the cash
they received from the recyclables, they would not charge the city as
much for their service of running their trucks. They haul away the low-
income recycling materials as well as the lucrative aluminum and
glass. The big difference in your Sopranos theory, is that the
homeless don't care about styrofoam pellets.
