I'm in Newfoundland, and in my area we have trash pick up on friday, we can put anything out in trash no bill to pay for it.

As for Recycleing, we got 5 cents per beverage container, juice boxes, cola cans etc but we have to bring them to the recycleing place to get it. If we choose to do so. Which we do.

I honestly think recycleing should be mandatory, and be sorted and put to the curb for pick up. Which I think will be something that is going to happen here in the near future.
