[Chat] Assistance with recycling

[Lisa Percy]

I experienced the same problem about a month ago, but I haven't had any problems since then (29th and Guilford).

I had a similar problem with recycling the last few weeks. I had recycling in a trash can next to all the other recycling, paper bags and such.  And this was the third week they didn't pick it up (it was getting full).  Luckily, at 7:20 or so I heard the recycling truck and got out of bed, ran outside and saw they had not picked it up.  They were a few houses down and I pulled the recycling over and told they missed this one for the third week in a row.  One guy apologized, the other, who was responsible, didn't say anything. 29th and Calvert.

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.
