The city is currently considering going to co-mingled recycling, where you'd throw all your recyclables (paper, plastic, glass, etc.) into a large (likely with wheels) bin. Hopefully this would reduce the potential for the garbage folks taking the recycling. There's currently one provider in the area and the city was looking at how much it would cost. Vithal Deshpande, the city's environmental coordinator, discussed it at the last Ward 7 Resistat meeting. I'm sure the more 311, emails, and phone calls he received asking about and/or supporting the idea, would help him make a case to the mayor.
