I didn't realize that garbage companies had marketing departments. With the new name, I'll be sure to recycle; oooh, I do now! Seems like the state passed a law about this several years ago so how are we going to change?? Youth wants to know!
I think Mtn. View does a good job of making recycling easy but I haven't found much info on the effectiveness of the recycling recently so I'm commenting on the name change and lack of info, not complaining.
Wonder what Ann Cozzolino would say about this??

I'd love to see a story about the dual-bin recycling carts. As far as I can tell, the blue-side (containers) and gray side (paper) get dumped together into the transport truck. If it is single-stream recycling, do we really need to separate paper, cans, and bottles? Can we use either side of the dual cart if one side is full?
When will Mountain View's contract with Recology come up for renewal, and will we possibly get the ability to recycle anything else?

Garbage man -> garbage collector -> sanitation engineer -> recologist.
Lordy, what's next from the PC world?
Oh well, if they can improve diversion, more power to them.

Doesn't the new business name seem awfully close to reek-ology or rico-logy

Recology? Interesting someone would choose a word not recognized by any dictionary available. Makes you wonder about their decision makers.
