Recycle is a compulsory requirement in Rochester, and every
week, commingled curbside selection serves its green needs.
Background
Rochester, NY (pop. 210,855), is often famous for having one
of the best recycling applications of any mid-sized U.S. town.
Every family in Rochester pays a compulsory reject and recycling fee through its property tax code, and every family is required to recycle. They are paying for it, after all. The town provides a standard blue recycling bin absolutely 100 % free for every week selection. Just one bin is used for all approved recyclables; commingling these products makes it simple and fast for Rochester citizens.
