Dear PoPville,
Can you provide any information on recycling for multi-unit apartment buildings? I live in a unit with more than 30 apartments near New Hampshire Ave and Georgia Ave. Our building has separate containers for recyclable materials. Yet I have noticed that the trash removal trucks dump the recyclable materials (cans, tin/aluminum,glass, newspapers, etc.) in with the trash components? Do this practice make any sense? Are these materials then sorted out at some final processing destination? Any words of advice would be most appreciated.
