Newly relocated recycling dumpsters filled with objects which are not recyclable, are causing concern for Jeremiah Glisson, maintenance manager who oversees the city’s recycle efforts. According to Glisson, “All four cardboard and paper only dumpsters at the recycle station are contaminated. [It is] frustrating when people abuse a good thing.” Glisson plans to place larger cardboard or paper only decals on the containers in hopes the situation will improves.
When items placed in containers are not sorted properly, the entire container ends up in a landfill and defeats recycling efforts.
Bigger signs won’t make any difference. Some folks are going to abuse the system anyway , to the detriment of those of us who are trying to do good.
This looks like “trash” that was purposely put into the recycle bins by people who refuse to pay for garbage service.
Believe it when people show you who they are! Actions not words are the truths that shows these people are ignorant, irresponsible, inconsiderate and intractable in my opinion.
Turn on the cameras and post the pictures on the City website and any media outlet that will take them of the violators. This is just crazy!
