If recycling is now picked up on the alley, put it in the alley.<br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 10/10/09, Haydee M.

the recycling trucks have left the very large paper

be missed--had been placed in the corner of 33rd and
Guilford, where the city used to pick it up. <br><br>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 <br>the 1-1 change,
all recycling was to be placed in the same place as the regular
trash. <br><br>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. <br><br>Lo and behold, it was left behind just last week, once again.<br><br>Is it that difficult for city employees to grab a bag that is
clearly filled with recycling and take it? <br><br>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. <br><br> Thanks so much. <br> <br>
