Editor: The city' s previous recycling program, which featured pickup of recyclables every other week, was too costly  The city claims that its new program, which features weekly pickup, will be more cost effective, since the greater the volume of recyclables collected per year, the more revenue the city gains from selling the recyclables  But this is absurd
People will put out the same volume of recyclables overall; it will just be spread out over a greater number of pickups
A weekly schedule for recyclables pickup is substantially easier for people to follow and adhere to than is a schedule of pickups every other week.
