I'm very happy with my service through <a href="http://phoenixrecyclingnola.com/" rel="nofollow">Phoenix Recycling</a>, but I understand that not everyone is willing or able to pony up $15 a month for recycling services. It's also problematic that NO ONE is currently taking glass. They've been doing studies on the possibilities of using recycled sand from glass to help restore the wetlands. I really hope something pans out there, as I hate to see all of those beer bottles and glass jars just get tossed in the trash.
