Went outside the other day and there was a can like a garbage can in front of the house, apparently these are the new recycling bins for ToH. We can now recycle pizza boxes too. I have to admit I was kind of excited about this.

Is it specifically marked for cardboard or paper? If so, I definitely would be rather excited. We currently have the orange bin and it appears that they only take glass and cans out of that bin (we bag them in clear plastic first). Anything that was paper or cardboard just went in the regular garbage truck, which really annoyed me.
There was a letter in the can that asked residents to use the new can for cans, bottles, glass, plastic and metal items. They asked that the old bins be used for newspaper, cardboard and other paper products.
They are also "pleased" to announce that they will be accepting "box board" (cereal, pasta and other food boxes), index cards, white telephone books (not yellow) and pizza boxes.
They also recommend you put your address on the can and the lid.
We didn't get new boxes in RI, but as of June we put everything - paper, etc. in just one box. We no longer have to pay attention to the numbers on plastic items.
We do have one funny law though.. they will not pick up your garbage cans if your recyling box is not put out at the same time.

Thanks Peabody, my wife paraphrased the letter for me as we were getting in the car - I just heard pizza boxes. I am pleased by these announcements as well.

Excellent! The sanitation truck that picks up on my block would take the newspapers or cardboard boxes and toss them in the truck. They waved at me, took the stack, chucked it in the truck and left. I was like ! Why bother?
I used to live in Queens and the recycling laws are stricter. Just about everything gets recycled so when I first moved to LI, I would separate everything and realized they just toss it in the truck lol
I wonder why not the yellow pages but they're taking the white pages?
I received one of those new recycle bins from the town of Hemstead (Triple R Can). I have a problem with the lid design; it puddles with water and is now a new breeding pool for mosquitos. I am doing my part to combat the mosquito population on my East Meadow property including the recent installation of a "bat house", but now I have to make sure the lid on my recycle bin is free of water. In short, poor design. East Meadow Realtor, www.EastMeadowJowBrown.com

Yes, the water does pool up on the lid. I guess we can drill a couple of holes in the lid to drain the water into the can and then also drill a few in the bottom of the can to drain the can itself.
I didn't get one. Do they have Kate Murray's face on them?
