They better not. How are we supposed to dispose of cardboard and styrofoam then? Buy a new tv or any well packaged product and see how much waste you have to get rid of. For now, most of it is recyclable but if they change this, where will it end up?

They privatized it and now the profiteers are seeking higher profits by degrading the service. Big surprise.

Circular Materials never wanted to collect overflow materials outside the carts. Many of us got notices that they would going to stop as of a certain date. They couldn't b/c the law required them to so it looks like Ford is going to change the rules.
