The City of Pocatello implemented recycling a little over a year ago and it’s been quite successful. The program is a no-sort system where everything that is eligible for recycling can all be tossed into the same container. It’s picked up every other trash day. The blue can on the left is our recycle bin and the dark bin on the right is the normal trash. About two-thirds of what we used to throw in the trash now goes into the recycle bin. It’s so easy to do that I don’t understand why some people “just don’t bother.” There are a few households in our neighborhood who haven’t signed up for some unknown reason. It can’t be the $5.00 per month fee … no one up here would notice that kind of a price.
