Finally, city residents will be able to add plastic bottles like these to the curbside recycling pile. After some haggling with the recycling service, City Council will pay an additional $22,218.36 per year to get plastics and corrugated cardboard recycled—and apparently, that’s a bargain. Starting February 5, give up your plastic Diet Coke bottle collection and kick that used-up laundry detergent container to the curb. Council will also rejigger the recycling schedule to speed pick-up, to the chagrin of rummaging raccoons citywide.
