Ridgewood Nj, the recent changes in Village recycling procedures took residents by surprise, Concern centers compliance and enforcement, questioning will the Village be “issuing a summons. Same as leaf collection rules. You issue summons and then people know not to do it again.”
“No DELI CONTAINERS?? Is this for real? They have the recycle symbol. What are we supposed to do with all those clean clear deli plastic containers and lids that potato salad, macaroni salad, chicken salad, crunchy vegetable salad, etc. came in ? Are they to go in with regular household garbage to the landfill – thought that was illegal !!!”
“Styrofoam, window glass, and other items listed here have never been accepted. This is not an entirely new list. If we can’t rely on the markings on the bottom of a container to know whether to recycle it or not, how is the average person supposed to get it right? And do the plastic boxes now go in the garbage? Or does curbside recycling have different rules from taking things to the recycling center, like the difference between having and not having to separate newspaper from shiny paper (recycling center yes, curbside not any more)?”
Goes hand and hand with the parking plan.
Stupidity reigns supreme in the village. Who comes up with this rules?
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
As hard as it is to believe, this VC sucks more than the old one.
1205- obviously someone that is not grammatically challenged. The rules are simple but alas, inconvenient in our white entitlement village…
Bso it is basically beverage containers. Water/soda, beer/wine bottles. And I assume plastic milk comtainers.
White entitlement…? That’s what your coming up with with regards to recycling? pathetic.
