With the property taxes I pay, I would expect that 20 bags be dropped off at my home every spring and every fall. This would definitely be incentive for me to continue with the Green Bin.

That's the thing for me- unlike you I don't have 40 year old trees dropping leaves everywhere, so the few leaves I have get easily turned into mulch by the lawn mower. And because I do mulch my grass already, I don't have any other yard waste to put out.
Personally I don't see the value here. The recycling makes sense as a lot of those items we recycle won't break down for thousands of years. But won't the organics just break down within a year or two at most?
