Re: What are you doing about recycling?

In west Michigan, our recycling is closed also. We have trash pick up but recycling is dropped off at a site in town. I think it closed about 2-3weeks ago. I have been putting everything but cardboard in the trash or else it would pile up and be a health hazard. I put the cardboard in a big box in the garage (mostly broken down Amazon boxes,) but am probably going to have to start putting that in the trash soon.

No change here. I live in a very rural area and our recycling center has remained open, thank goodness! We go about twice a week or when our recycling box is full.

I have curb side pickup every week. One week it's plastic & glass then the following week it's cardboard & newspaper. I live in N.J. in Bergen County which is the worst outbreak of Covid 19.

Hope everyone is staying safe & well.


so far nothing has stopped recycling in Bergen Cty     and garbage, we pay high taxes for it.

Our town picks up recyclables once a week curbside.  Nothing has changed.

Hi @Lella  .. I live in Hudson County.   I think we are the second worst in NJ... right behind Bergen County.  In any event, we have our regular garbage pickup twice a week (Monday's and Thursday's).  And we have our recyclables picked up curbside every Thursday.

We use Cycle Works for both trash and recyling, which are both picked up every Thursday.

Re: What are you doing about recycling?

We get recycling picked up every two weeks.  Regular garbage is twice per week.  I would love to get a recycling pickup once a week though.  You are lucky if you have that.  Boxes really pile up fast.
