Sounds like Atlanta’s got itself a recycling problem.

[Take to] Task has received so many complaints about the need for [recycling] boxes that CityLife recently solicited readers’ comments on residential recycling programs overall.

Of 37 responses received, all but one came from residents of the city of Atlanta, which contracts with Dreamsan Inc. for collection and processing services in the city’s voluntary recycling program. The common thread: an inability to get new or replacement bins in a timely manner. Numerous e-mails described waits in excess of six months.

Meanwhile, I am awash with City of Decatur recycling bins and strive to find a cardboard box big enough that the recycling service will not take.

I also recall that Alvin McNeely couldn’t drum up enough local support for his commissioner-at-large campaign with his “my city garbage bags keep tearing” initiative.

So is everyone out there happy with Decatur’s recycling/garbage program? Anything you want clarified or changed?
