This would be a great service for seniors and those not able to get to the recycling center during business hours.

I had curveside pick up @ my last house. It was great. We started out with a charge but it was eventually dropped because they made enough money from selling the recycle items to cover cost. I’m all for it.

Please include Hawthorn Glen. We love recycling but it is such a chore to collect, sort, and haul it to the recycling center.

I would use this immediately. I don't mind going to the CCRD but I'd buy into this no problem to have to roll a can out.
