How about a three bin system for suburban
situations - a recyclables bin, a "back-to-the land" bin, and a "problem
bin"??
Imagine the subtle change in awareness
and behaviour with the constant reinforcement of putting things in the problem bin.
(We are fortunate in Sydney, Australia,
in having virtually universal kerbside pick up of recyclables.
And a reasonable penetration of separate
green or garden organics collections. But we still throw heaps of our valuable
organic material into the garbage.)
