Our town did recycling (pickup) then canceled it when the price of recycle raw materials crashed Then picked it up again as a paid service. Most of the households dropped it then, but I picked it up. But my kids had gotten in the habit of not recycling again. The main key is capturing the waste early in the cycle- in other words I put a 'recycle' trash can in the kitchen next to the main one, and harras and encourage until all recyclable stuff goes in there. I'm thinking about giving one of my two big green 50 gal 'dumpster' type cans back. We have only put out one can since we got recycling going again.
People with pickups go around every trash night and take all the metal and anything of marginal value off the curb. We know to not park lawn mowers or bicycles in the front yard- they disappear.
