It's a pretty sweet setup. Figured it would be all nasty but the guy never even gets his hands wet. Just pulls a couple levers. He also has a window cleaning subscription which is mostly a necessity after monsoon season out here. Its a pretty solid hustle he's got going as I see him all over the east valley. |

KCMO isn't nearly as restrictive as Arizona yet. It's all going to the same place anyway
Items you can recycle curbside: Office paper, junk mail, newspapers (without plastic rain bag), phone books, catalogs and magazines Manila folders Advertising inserts Brochures Corrugated cardboard Carrier stock (i.e. cardboard soft drink and beer cartons) Chipboard (i.e. cereal and shoe boxes) Paper/hardback books Plastic bottles with a neck #1 and #2 (look for the number inside the chasing arrow symbol), such as water and soda bottles, milk jugs and detergent bottles. Lids may now be recycled, too. Plastic containers #3 thru #7 (look for the number inside the chasing arrow symbol), such as yogurt and margarine/butter tub containers Cardboard egg cartons Pizza boxes (No food) Shredded paper (in paper bags) Drink cartons Aluminum cans and other metal cans Clamshells (Deli or salad bar containers) Aseptic containers (milk, juice and vegetable cartons) Clean aluminum foil and foil pans Items you cannot recycle curbside: Glass Plastic bags Styrofoam, including Styrofoam egg cartons Motor oil bottles and other automotive product bottles Containers for household hazardous material Paper towels, tissues or napkins, plates or cups Gift wrap Photographs, blueprints and hanging file folders Bags that contained pet food, fertilizer, charcoal or kitty litter Metal pots |

what I wonder is how much of it really gets recycled.
paper/cardboard. There is a point where it cant be recycled anymore. |

The other thing thats a bit annoying is our recycling program is one guy in a truck. Truck pulls up then it lifts and dumps.
So if you have one thing causing the lid on the bin to be open even just a little bit it throws off the lift system and stuff spills everywhere. So they won't pick it up and will leave a warning sticker on your bin shaming your ass Since my wife buys nearly everything off Amazon I'm driving to the recycle center drop off every other weekend with an abundance of Amazon boxes since they won't all fit in my bin with the lid closed. In Chicago, they'd take anything. You could have someone sideswipe the front bumper off your car, just throw it in your recycle bin and they'd take it. Probably because they're just dumping it all in some low income neighborhood anyway. So I racked up a few warning stickers for the first couple weeks I was out here. |

Yeah, mine has a fill line that is often ignored, but I try cramming bottles and shit towards the bottom so they aren't laying on top of everything and roll off. I've heard that a time or two, plus paper and stuff that blows back into the yard. I don't think we have shaming stickers though. |

They changed the non-recyclable items list and no one knew about it. The fill line, that's just being new to the area and probably my responsibility to look into. LOL not one of my neighbors said a thing when I took out all our moving boxes and set them to the side of the recycle bin on the curb Bet they were all peering out their windows just waiting for the truck to come by and shame my bin. Now that I know the rules I stay in compliance. |

I honestly never understood why they didn't do the carts.
