Where I live, it's required that I have both recycling and trash picked up every week.
How much more pullotion is added by that second truck driving around?
Also instead of forcing me to get trash picked up every week why can't it be bi weekly?
I know I know, money. But guh.

The fact is, trash / recyclable trucks do fill up and need to dump their load. (I'll let you figure out how to run those numbers.) In my case, my company sends a single truck with one side that handles recycling and the other that handles trash. I prefer it because I only have a single trash day, and everything gets picked up at the same time. What I don't like is that all trash pickup (in my town) is private. There are 2-4 different trash trucks that visit my street a week, depending on if a company is doing well or mismanaged and going out of business.
