Four months in, Brushy Creek MUD’s opt-in program of single stream recycling has a fair amount of participation in our neighborhood, but not close to all yet. What really doesn’t make sense to me these days is an economic issue. Why do we cart recyclables to the landfill (a long-term cost and liability to the community) at no additional cost to the consumer, while we charge the consumer to have the same recyclables carted to a recycling facility (a long-term benefit to the community)?
