I've heard of recyclebank before, hopefully it spreads to Northern NJ since I'm a huge recycler.
I just recently moved from south central PA where we had trash pickup 1x per week and it included recyclables. Here in Northern NJ I have a trash pickup 4 days per week! One day for yard waste, 2 days for trash and one day for recycling (alternating weeks - one week paper, one week plastics/glass). This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a long time! This is such a waste of fuel and wear/tear on the roads. I'm really perplexed as to why someone would need trash picked up on both Tuesday and Friday, I think it just encourages people to be more wasteful.
