Hi Kyle You only got one call? Geez, you're lucky. I've gotten at least 5 or 6 of them since last week, including 2 last night. First time - fine, second time - ok, by the third time I was like Enough already! Seems like since being able to be on the "do not call" list for telemarketers, the campaign/reminder/donation and (the most annoying) - the survey calls - have really gotten intrusive. Wendy The city could save itself a lot of trouble, and increase recycling rates, with a very simple change. Instead of "every second week" -- which constantly shifts time of the month in a way that's hard for people to remember -- they can go to a "first and third" or "second and fourth" XXXday. They could even post signs to that effect if they were really interested in recycling. I suggested this to the Streets Dept several times in the past few years. Even once to then-deputy Commissioner (now Commissioner) Tolson. At some point (although you couldn't prove this by Mike Hardy or Wendell Lewis) even I give up and stop trying. Maybe some of the persistent recycling activists in the area whose patience hasn't been exhausted can convince the Streets Dept people that this would be so much easier to remember and would therefore get more participation. Or, at least, to try it in a neighborhood like UC where recycling participation is less than one might guess from the tenor of the population.
