Reply to comment by Quirky_Butterfly_946 in Here’s what you need to know about the textile and mattress waste ban that goes into effect Nov. 1 by bostondotcom

This will have zero effect on households. No one looks through your bin for a stray 2x4 now no one will look through your trash for a clean shirt either. This is strictly for businesses.

That's interesting as my recyclables have been rejected before for having something in the bin that they don't recycle.

You can't hide a mattress in a garbage bag, and clothes/textiles may get by if only a few, but throwing away anything that will fill a garbage bag may get caught.

If people want to have these picked up, they "must contact a trucking company" meaning $$$$$$

So under the guise of green/recyclables MA residents have just incurred another payment. When will people wake up and see the state has their hands in your wallets every single thing you do

I was gonna say something about how having tainted recycling is not the same as throwing away a shirt, but you seem to think you're entitled to trash magically disappearing for a fixed rate forever, so good luck with that.
