I have no idea why the majority of residents here complained about
having to recycle. It may have had something to do with having to buy
extra bins. I'm not sure why that would bother these toodling around on
golf carts people, but it's a guess. I was perfectly willing to
separate plastic, glass, cans. No composting here, so also food scraps
that won't go down the garbage disposal (those wouldn't have amounted to
much).
