Do you have a service that comes to your house or do you have to take it to a facility? We have recycling combined with our trash service and it's so nice! We just pay a couple of bucks a month, and they pick up every other Friday.
-
We have a service that comes on the same day as the garbage pick up.
-
Our recycling is with our trash service every week. I'm sure it's somehow paid for through our taxes.
-
Our compost and recycling is picked up curbside weekly, garbage bi-weekly. Paid via our property taxes.
-
It's through the city (so covered by our property taxes) and comes the same day as our garbage pick up.
-
In NYC it's part of our trash pick-up. The sanitation dept. picks up once a week.
-
The same people that come collect the rubbish pick it up every other week. It's paid for by our local taxes.
-
Ours is picked up every other week on the same day as trash pickup. They provide a large recycle bin that looks like trash can, but in a different color.
-
Our recycle is paid for by property taxes and picked up every second week.... as long as we remember to put it to the curb. There is a lot of cardboard in my garage right now!
-
Ours is picked up every other week on the same day as garbage pick-up. They will collect recycling for free, and garbage is a "pay as you go" system---$2 per bag/can, more if it is a larger item or furniture.

-
We get ours picked up the same day as the trash (weekly)
-
You guys are lucky it gets picked up every week, for most of you. Our recycle bin is larger than our trash bin, but it still gets so full!
-
Ours gets picked up the same day as trash, and weekly. It's part of our city utility bill (electric, water, trash, etc. ).
-
And it's nice a lot of you get it already paid for, I mean in one way or another
-
Ours is through the city and picked up on the same day as the trash. It's paid for through our taxes.
I love it. We just switched, a year ago?, to this and I think it's great. Before you had to take it to a facility and I didn't do nearly as much recycling then as I do now. Now, hardly anything gets thrown in the trash and we recycle SO MUCH.
Our bottles still get taken to a bottle depot because I want the cash! LOL.
-
@.twist.: Oh same here about bottles/cans!
-
Ours gets picked up in a separate dumpster by our regular trash service.
-
My old neighborhood had a recycling service run by the city that would come on trash day every other week. However, our new neihborhood uses a private trash service and does not recycle. It is so disappointing to me. There was even a vote on whether to add recycling to our trash service, but I think the cost deterred people and it didn't pass! I take my recycling to my mom's house, since she gets the city service. I have a huge pile in my kitchen at all times, I hate it.
-
It's against the law NOT to recycle in Seattle- you can get fined if you don't, so our recycle bin is free pickup with our garbage. It's so prevalent, it made me double take at the "if" in your title!
-
We have a service, and they come separately from the garbage.
-
We have a service that comes the same day as the trash pick up! It's great too...they scan the barcode under the lid of our recycling bin and we get credit for the weight of the recycling. They convert to points that we can use to get coupons on local things!
-
At home they collect recycling every week (garbage is every 2 weeks), but at work we would have to pay extra for recycling pick up, so we don't recycle there.
-
We have to drive it to a center. Fortunately its close but I miss where we lived before and it was collected curbside!
-
Waste Management is our provider. Recycling gets picked up once a week. We don't even have to sort!
-
Ours comes the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month!
-
our city has special trash bags (they're crappy yellow ones) that you buy to put your trash out each week, i think it's like $7.50 for a roll of 10 small bags. so you pay for anything you can't recycle, but recycling is picked up each week (we don't even have to sort it by paper plastic etc!) and you pay nothing for it! they're not even supposed to pick up bags that have recyclables in them, i'm sure it happens though. i think it's a great program & almost everyone recycles around here =)
-
Now we have curbside pickup, but I used to have to separate everything and bring it to a center. I much prefer the curbside pickup.
-
@prettylizy: so does garbage pickup occur every week and recycling is biweekly? If so, it's the opposite for us! Recycling and organics gets picked up weekly and garbage gets picked up every other week.
-
Picked up with the trash every Monday
-
@Sammyfab: I wish it was like that for us! I could easily go two weeks without the garbage being picked up, but if I miss a week of recycling, I am desperate to get paper bags from the store to contain all the recyclables.
-
@evansjamie: our recycling is overflowing after one week! I can only imagine the disaster it'd be after 2 weeks! Garbage pick-up on a biweekly basis makes us so mindful of how much we throw out (versus how much we recycle and what we put in organics)...I really like it!
-
@Sammyfab: This is how I wish ours was. recycling every week and garbage every other.
We get recycling picked up every other week and it's part of our property taxes I believe. We recycle so much more b/c of it. Our trash hardly gets filled but our recycling is always overflowing.
-
Curbside pickup with our trash!!
-
We currently have to take everything to our recycling drop off. But we're moving soon and they do curbside in our new neighborhood.
-
We have a service that comes and picks it up at our curb.
-
I take it to work with me. We have a big recycling program. At home we just separate the rest between organic (compostable) and nonorganic trash which is what the city requires.
