New Recycling Program Begins

The city is now picking up the recycling and this is the new truck.  Much bigger than the ones used by the company which had been contracted out.  Much confusion over the last few weeks over the old cans and the new.  Today some houses had old and new both filled and it was nice to see that the city truck dumped both.  I expect to see the old cans taken away very soon.

I couldn't get a very good picture but you can kind of see that there is a part of the truck protruding in front of the cab.  This is where the can is emptied first.  Not sure how many cans it takes to fill that part but at some time that container is flipped over the top of the truck.  We might have to follow them around some time.
If you look closely at the center of the picture, you can see our container being tipped to be emptied.
