Joseph asks…
What country (or metro area) has put this law into effect?
My professor talked of a country that wanted to promote recycling, so they made green (physically colored green) garbage bags expensive and made it so the garbage men would only pick up the residents trash if it was in that green bag. It may have been Toronto? My classmate says Tokyo? Any ideas? I can’t find anything online.
The Expert answers:
Switzerland did it but I don’t know if they were green or not. They are special bags that are the only ones the garbage men will collect. They are smaller and cost more than the average bag in the US.

Paul asks…
i recieve summon fail property recycling it says mixed with unsoiled paper in clear bag what they mean by that?
i recieved summons 50.00dollars for fail property recycling they say orange juice mixed with unsoiled paper in clear bag.. i thought juice carton also carton like cereal. and maybe they like to give summons for no reason please help they hire me to take out garbage.
The Expert answers:
Orange Juice cartons are made with paper on the outside and a thin plastic layer inside of them to keep the paper from getting wet. They are working on ways to recycle these cartons by putting them through a process called “hydropulping” but at the moment some recycling facilities have not adopted the new technology. Thus, those Orange Juice cartons are not recyclable in some areas.
Orange Juice cartons look like all paper cereal boxes but they are not and until these new techniques are adopted in your area they are not recyclable. Call your local recycling facility and ask them why they do not recycle them and inform them about the new techniques available.

Recycling question?
I recently switched to a garbage pickup company that does recycling, I am confused about 1 type of garbage, the silver bags that chips and cookies come in, what catagory would they go in?
Thank you.
The Expert answers:
When I recycle I usually put cardboard, cans, and plastic in the container. I would toss the silver bag in the regular garbage.
