Recycling in DC

The District of Columbia's recycling program at work. Watch as the trash collectors throw everything -- garbage AND recyclables -- into the same truck. Glad that we made all of the effort to separate them. [Note, these are not DC employees shown in the video -- it's a private company.]

This is not DC government trash collection service. This is a private contractor. DPW only collects from 20% of the properties. People should be more responsible with accuracy when posting things on Youtube.

@nanceelorn : Did you bother to read the description of the video? It specifically states that this is a private company.

nanceelorn it sounds like you are more worried about DC government's role than you are about the environment. If, as reported, DC is involved in fining residents for not recycling and then allowing this to happen, then I think there are bigger issues than the description of this video. You should also disclose your relationship to city government per ethics rules. Thanks, a concerned resident.

The "Note" was added after my post. I'm glad to see someone made the correction.
