This morning I got a call from the new city that I moved to. One the phone was a lady from the SOLID WASTE DIVSION:
Lady: Our driver is outside of your home and he says that there is a large cardboard box sticking out of the blue recycling bin. Nothing can be sticking out of the recycling bin. Like Reagan, I remember a time when the country was free.  I'm reading What's the Matter With Kansas, and it'shaving an impact.

Glad to help out, Monsieur Rick!  ...as I've told you before - you're the (slightly) older sister I never had. You always give good advice!!  I'm vain enough to be glad that you said "older(slightly) sister"...

Lest I be mistaken for a penurious curmudgeon, allow me to expand on this. I regularly deposit items on the curb (such as old computer equipment), full knowing that they will be scrounged, and will probably end up at some poor soul's flea market stand by the following weekend. I also am an active participant in our local FreeCycle program which keeps usable items in circulation, rather than clogging up our already overloaded landfills. However, I still object to scroungers rifling my trash for aluminum cans and waste paper. Those items do have a scrap recycle value, and as long as I'm paying a monthly fee to have my trash hauled, I'd prefer that any money generated from this recycling be used to keep my costs down. The costs I'm paying for trash (and recyclable) pickup keep increasing. If the money recouped from recycling is used to hold down the fees, then I wouldn't be very happy if I found someone cherry-picking through my trash. We do recycle our cans, plastic and cardboard. So maybe picking through our trash doesn't bother us-as long as they don't make/leave a mess. But most of the usable stuff is taken to Goodwill, or my church thrift store.
