@jtoznel That's ridiculous. I live in Canada, where it's done everywhere, and I thought it was done the same everywhere else. You'd think that would be a concern for a country such as America.

@danielleefarmer It's possible to make it organized... but only with a facility's help. Houses would have to register with a pick-up company, and a route would be made for pick up once or twice a week. If it be required, then it's a matter of distributing the containers and enforcing it. It's not hard... people just have to do it!

@danielleefarmer I've read statistics that show recycling facilities create about 10 times more jobs than do landfills. Although the recycle process can be mundane, it certainly can't be worse than a landfill... Yeah! It doesn't really cost the city much in the long term, as the materials are often sold back to manufactures for creating new containers and such. If only it would be implemented on federal level.

@TrySomeMusic Sadly not... you would think it would be. Trash/recycle programs are based on a state and local level. Some states require recycling (California, for instance), and other states base it solely on local resources. If a city decides to build a recycle facility, then it will be utilized. Often, though, recycle programs are based on "drop off" facilities, which only recycle certain things. Rumors have it that what is put there is just dropped off at the landfill. It's really depressing

Recycling is for people with too much time on their hands.
