I live in Altoona, PA, and I use Waste Mgmt. too. I also have noticed that they seem to dump everything into the same truck regardless of how we separate. Even though we were told that recycling pick-up is only on “even numbered mondays.” We have only recently switched to WM and I haven’t had a chance to look into it yet. Interested in a video follow-along expose? Perhaps (as you are in GA) this is a standard WM corporate practice…

recycling is important; fight back; find a way of recycling. I live in Asheville and take my recycling to Walmart. Its not just a good thing but the right thing.

Woodstock now uses Advanced Disposal and does not charge extra for recycling. But I remember when Waste Management had the city contract, We saw the exact thing you did. BTW, we watched Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit” program on Showtime. They claimed and had evidence that recyling (except for aluminum cans) uses more energy and resources than it saves. They interviewed a Clemson professor who backed them up on this. What do you think?
