WDT: Jefferson County Legislature to take up trash debate

    A new law requiring recycling is being considered by the County Legislature. It would require tenants to sort stuff and landlords to provide the means and methodology to do so.
     I'd rather see movement to a co-mingled system so we don't have all those containers at the side of the road. 

      New projects with well designed recycling areas enclosed  from the elements may work, but much of our older housing stock  will just create cluttered rows of containers in back yards.
      There is no real consequence to not recycling other than the scorn of tree huggers, so this law will be like any local law.  No one will pay attention until its passed and there is someone inconvenienced or someone cited.
       Next time I am at Pete's I will have to get an explanation on all of this.
