Are you tired of overfilling your recycling bins? Sick of separating out the cans, bottles and newspapers when you know everything will be dumped into the same truck? Little do most people know, back in 2008, Republic Services started a recycling pilot program that got rid of the bins and replaced them with just one large recycling container. The program has grown but is not offered everywhere.

Here’s the idea: Republic Services will provide every residence with one 96-gallon trash cart and one 96-gallon recycling cart. Republic Services will then provide ‘once per week’ collection for both trash and recycling on the same day. Bulky item collection will be provided every other week on the regular collection day. This seemingly simple program sounds like a great plan to keep our streets clean and encourage more residents to recycle.

So why isn’t everyone doing it? In order to get signed up for the program all residents in your neighborhood must participate. So, send this to your friends, neighbors and co-workers and ask them to sign up for this service.  Sign up here: http://www.republicservicesvegas.com/Pages/RecyclingPilotPrograms.aspx to request this service in your neighborhood.
