    1. Given how the population of Indianapolis totally abuses the drop-off program, yep. Maybe even slower.

    2. JJ, I have been an avid recycler for years and yes, education is absolutely needed. People abuse the drop off sites by dumping all sorts of things that are not recyclable. And before anyone attacks recycling as woke I became a recycler because of lessons learned from my parents, who grew up during the Great Depression and World War II, which was a time when things were reused, repurposed and recycled regularly. Sadly, following the war we became a throw away society but now we face scarcity of landfill space (no one wants a landfill in their area) and reusing resources simply makes sense.

  1. 2 years to educate people? Send a monthly flyer/postcard to all residents. Would be ready to go mid-2026 at the latest. 2028 implementation? That’s insulting.

  2. Please, please, I hope they collect the old cans since we will be needing new ones. I saw on article say that “the owners can keep the cans as new ones will be delivered” I have no use or space for two additional cans. I currently still have they one they were supposed to come and take from me from when WM took over Rays Recycling. Small garage, can’t leave them outside per neighborhood rules. I will not need 4 cans if they won’t pick up the old ones.

    1. No curbside recycling system can handle plastic bags. Take the plastic bags to where you get your groceries. Indiana has one of North America’s largest plastic bag recycling facility in North Vernon with another just opening in Connersville and another soon in Evansville.

    2. That’s right. Kroger, Walmart and Meijer all have plastic bag collection bins right inside their doors.
