It was an extra blue bin to take out to the curb, but the city paid to have it all split in the right direction. I think if more counties included the service, it would eventually become less costly and more likely that people recycled. I also wish that more people understood that these stupid heat fans in public restrooms are more detrimental to the environment than a few paper towels are. Not only that, but they encourage growth of bacteria on ones person. And the use of antibiotics outside of a health care environment?! I'll tell you what, if you help pull the wool from over my eyes, I promise to do the same for you. When I lived in Blacksburg, at Virginia Tech, recycling was included in city waste pickup.
