Q. I am endeavoring to stop using plastic bags and want to use a reusable trash bag, and collect trash in the bag, deposit the trash in green commercial trash cans, wash the bag and reinstall it into the trash can. Do the trash collection people have a problem with loose household trash? My husband is concerned that the loose trash will spill onto the street and consequently is against me using the reusable bag. As a part of my ongoing endeavor to stop using plastic bags, I would like to discontinue stacking newspaper and other recyclable paper into a plastic bag and then depositing in brown recycling can. Do the recycling people have a problem receiving loose paper? If so, how would they prefer to receive paper? Again, my husband is concerned about loose paper floating all over the street.
A. There is no penalty for putting loose trash in a trash can, according to Tony Hunt, Greensboro’s service representative. But doing so tends to make trash cans smellier and dirtier than if the trash were in a bag. It’s up to the customer to keep the trash can clean. If the customer complains about a smelly or dirty trash can, the city rarely replaces it, Hunt said. Only physically damaged trash cans get replaced.
Hunt said Greensboro customers do not bag most recyclables.
Most plastic bags can’t be recycled so workers have to take the recyclables out of the bags and sort them by hand. Shredded paper does need to be bagged, preferably in a paper bag.
