Good!

Maybe it's about time that someone takes a day off work and tails the recycling truck to make sure that it results in actual recycling.

It's not just the pessimist in me that makes me say that, but also friends who still fail to put out recycling (in each of South and West Philly, in these cases) because of (ancient and no longer true, I hope) rumors that Philadelphia recycling just ends up in the dumps. (I think that was in the news media in the mid '90s, but apparently well-meaning people still think that's true and don't bother to separate recyclable materials as a result.)
