When I lived in Tacoma WA and curbside recycling was free, I recycled everything I could. Then the city decided we had to clean everything first, no problem, I still recycled everything i could. Then the city decided to start chatrging for curbside pickup, with no reduction in garbage rates. So I stopped recycling altogether, because it was going to hurt my wallet. Now I live in OR and my apt. doesn't offer recycling so I only recycle carbonated beverage containers (there is a 5¢ deposit).
