[Chat] Assistance with recycling

[Jonathan Wetmiller]

Perhaps I'm misreading this, but if the recycling is being placed in the wrong location, why should the city sanitation workers be expected to pick it up?  If recycling is now picked up on the alley, put it in the alley.

I have family in Charles Village and for the 3rd time now
the recycling trucks have left the very large paper
bag behind. The bag--which positively cannot
be missed--had been placed in the corner of 33rd and
Guilford, where the city used to pick it up. 

After the second time the bag was left behind, I called 311. I went
a couple of rounds with the operator who told me that the bag needed
to be placed in the alley, adding that since 
the 1-1 change,
all recycling was to be placed in the same place as the regular
trash. 

The city managed to respond and pick up the
bag of recycling the second time--I am sure only because I told them
I would call Mary Pat's office, and Channel 2.  

Lo and behold, it was left behind just last week, once again.

Is it that difficult for city employees to grab a bag that is
clearly filled  with recycling and take it?  

Someone
kindly offer some advise that will make this seemingly very simple task
even more simple--we are committed to easing the devastation to the
environment, but the employees of "Charm City"  are not
making it easy. 

 Thanks so much.
