Are They Just Throwing Recycled Bins in with Regular Trash in EP?
I’ll be honest: I still haven’t figured out the recycling pick-up schedule ever since it was halted last year during the pandemic. More on that later.
Some folks in El Paso say they have observed garbage collectors taking the blue recycling bins and just throwing them in with the regular, non-recyclable trash.
It’s pretty much proven that this HAS happened. Residents have seen the blue bins and the gray (non-recycling) bins both being emptied into the same sanitation trucks. At least one resident went up to the workers and asked them what was going on. So, yes, it HAS happened; the question is “how often does this happen?”.
