It is a good idea that is poorly implemented. The blue bins are big commerical 96 gallon containers that disabled and elderly residents cannot use. Mayor Platt's aid Matt Toyer has public stated that there is "no alternative" and "get a neighbor" to haul your recycling. Cherry Hill residents will soon be picking up the tab for an Americans with Disability Act lawsuit because of this program. These blue bins detract from the neighborhood astetics because no one has room to store them in the garage. I am not anti-recycling. But, there has to be a better way -- these containers are just to darn big. In Cherry Hill we received the RecycleBank containers recently. It is a good idea that is poorly implemented.
