for years I have been going to the Fayetteville "dump" recycling center on First Manassas Mile/Bradford Square by Spring Hill E.S./fayette Middle. There is rarely a wait and plenty of bins for all your recycling. And, these days you don't even have to separate.

"Picture a bright blue ball
Just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky
Brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid, we may lay our home to waste"

"once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right"
"listen to the thunder shouting, "I AM, I AM, I AM"

There is a plastic bottle recycling bin behind the Kroger at Braelinn. They also have cardboard, magazine, cans and telephone book recycling.
I use Cardinal Sanitation who supply us with a full size can for recycling with our weekly pick up. You would be surprised at how much stuff goes in the recycle bin, we actually have more in that can than our regular bin.

Mea culpa.

The plastics bin behind Braelinn Kroger will be removed on or before 1/6/08. To the best of my knowledge, the only options at this point are the private haulers, such as Cardinal and CLM -- both of whom bring their materials my way.

Sadly, due to market conditions, the cost of pickup and processing was nearing $300 per ton while the sellable value of the materials dropped down to $50 per ton. Commodities such as cardboard, newsprint, metals and plastics have devalued by as much as 80% in the past sixty days.

Imagine your revenue being depleted by 80% while retaining the same volume and costs. The industry is truly in uncharted waters.

The only reason to "recycle" is that there isn't any new stuff to have! This is the USA!

It is a quandary for the conserves: they don't want the government to mandate recycling, but they want to get the votes the green people have!
Only way industry wants garbage is that there is no more raw material or new is too expensive!

It is all very logical.

The contractor would have petitioned the city, claiming a need to raise rates or the company would fold. Your rates would have gone up and up.
