We live just outside the Cleveland, Ohio metropolitan area. Our local recycling got very little business UNTIL free waste collection was replaced with a system where one pays according to the volume carried away. Suddenly, the recyling center had to increase the number of containers per week by 12X. Tons of paper, glass, tires, steel and aluminum are collected each week from a population of 8500 - and that, in its own way, is also the bad news.
