Well, that worked out well, didn't it?
I'm talking about those precious yellow recycling bins, which are probably selling on eBay for triple or quadruple their price even as we speak. Those now worth-their-weight-in-gold containers that thousands lined up to buy at this weekend's "Bin Kick-Off" events at several city schools, only to be turned away empty-handed when the city ran out of them.
The yellow bins are for next year's switch to single-stream recycling. Come Jan. 8, you can dump all your fine recyclables - paper, plastic, bottles, cans - in a single container, which will be picked up twice a month...
