LI doesn't recycle? Lol of course it does. Call your town and get the days you're supposed to put out your recyclables. If you put it all out on regular trash day, expect them to bin it.

That was implied. Of course I meant on a recycling day.

I used to be a garbageman, the recycling is picked up by a recycling truck and taken to a recycling dump.

Town of brookhaven has a separate recycling center. It also does not need recyclables to be separated out paper, and glass can go together. Supposedly it has saved the town a lot of money.

Making money too. Because they got the system so streamlined, Smithtown pays to dump all their recyclables with them.

Maybe the recycling program is working so well, the landfill is not filling up as quickly. That's why the closure of it was delayed so much. Or did I mix up towns?

I just got a phone call from the town of north hempstead.
They were great.
They said they appreciated I called and that they'll make sure this doesn't happen again.

He also encouraged me to call if it happens again.

I suggest you guys do the same if you see they're throwing all the recyclables in the same truck.

^^ I'm confused, are you saying your recyclable pick up days are the same day as your trash?

They in turn hung up the phone with you and had a great guffaw.
