In order for yard waste to be composted, each plastic bag had to be opened and emptied by department staff not an easy feat when 2006 saw the collection of 77 tons of bagged yard waste.

Recycling may be good for the environment, but it can also put money back in your pocket. When the sanitation trucks roll on recycling day, participating residents, businesses, and the local government of Clayton, New Jersey profit. Recycling more means dumping less. All of that goes into one container in what's known as single stream recycling. The recycling truck reads the code and weighs the container. The information goes into the participant's account, accessible online for reward coupons.

And while the bins on the streets may be being abused, Dublin City Council praised the efforts of householders in the capital who are now recycling about one third of their waste.
