Wednesday night the 80 yo chinese people are on my block as always, sorting through our recycling to take the cans that promise depositis. So why does the city spend money... (more)
collecting recycling? Why not let private entrepreneurs either buy the rights to certain blocks or just duke it out on first come, first served? Why are we paying tax dollars to collect recycling when people are willing to do it for free?
