Really? Because, um, I have a separate garbage can for recycling, and there's a bag in it. I take two bags to my bins every week. One for black, one for blue. Yes, all the boxes and jars and cans that I accumulate get put in a garbage bag, and then in the blue bin. Are you telling me that my last 4 years of having a blue bin have been for naught?
