Gotcha. I have to recycle much of the same stuff, but they pick up
cans and bottles on one day, and another day of the month it's
newspaper/cardboard/mixed paper. I think they still want you to
tie the newspaper into bundles.

Sorry for the late reply, I got a new computer and I downloaded
Thunderbird and I'm still getting used to it. I would like it to
download posts as they are made rather than threading it all for
me, if anyone can help me out with that, I'd appreciate it. For
now I'm missing posts in the forest of threads.

It has been about a year now that cardboard and mixed paper recycling
became mandatory, and I see that many of my neighbors still don't get
it.

I'm surprised they aren't required to. Anyway, I find the subject
interesting, thanks for the info.
