But back then you had to sort by type, plastic - ONLY 1 and 2, paper, cardboard, glass - separate clear, brown, & green, and metal. You also put stuff in separate dumpsters. But now you just dump everything in the same one. No plastic bags or number 4 plastic better known as styrofoam. It was great when I moved to Southfield 20 years later that this community service is still there. You can drive up, park and take your stuff to the dumpsters. Quick and easy. Wonderful for those of us that live in apartments with no recycling. WTF, shouldn't that be required in the 21st century. My visit there even allowed me to talk to another human being, at a very save social distance. I guess that is what the 21st century world has come to.

With online orders and occasional store purchases, we end up with a large pile of cardboards. It makes recycling large cardboards from online orders such an easier process.

I recently moved to the area and noticed there is not a city collection for compost. Knowing there…read morewas a robust urban garden community here, surely there was composting services. After some googling, I found Midtown and loved their business model so I signed up. It's $16 a month plus a $5 start up fee and in exchange, I get a 5lb bucket to put compost items in, it gets picked up weekly and replaced with a clean bucket. In addition, I get a few buckets of finished compost in April or May, which will be perfect as that is the perfect time to start my own little garden. If you don't want your finished compost you can donate it to a community garden of your choice. Though I've only been a customer for a couple weeks, I'm thoroughly impressed. I signed up late on a Tuesday night and my new bucket was on my porch THE NEXT MORNING! I feel serious hippie-guilt if I have to throw away anything compostable so this was brilliant. And I put my bucket out the following Tuesday night and by Wednesday midday, I had a fresh bucket waiting on the porch. Excellent service so far and I'm glad to be supporting a small business and the environment at the same time.

Despite the (understandable) legal precautions, the process was smooth, fast and simple. They were very helpful through to the cashing out process and didn't make me feel unwelcome for being new.
