]]> Comment on Pay as you throw trash disposal programs by jerrynoelcoxnet http://greenlivingri.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/pay-as-you-throw-trash-disposal-programs/#comment-4 jerrynoelcoxnet Fri, 19 Oct 2007 16:41:25 +0000 http://greenlivingri.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/pay-as-you-throw-trash-disposal-programs/#comment-4 Lori, Thanks for the reply. There are some many things that towns could be doing better. So Long Island gives money for bottles and cans... that's cool. It definitely gives people some incentive. I think if you go to a market like stop and shop, you might be able to deposit cans into a machine and get money. Lori,
