A great idea to solve both of these problems would be a recycling company having their own truck goes door to door to pick up goods each week. The driver would have to have a portable scale to weigh the items. Citizens could call and schedule a pick-up with the company when they have enough materials and the driver could pay the person based on the weight of the items. It would have to be a lower rate than the person could get by taking them to the recycling plant themselves to allow for the gas and truck costs but it would benefit the company, the person who is recycling and getting paid for it, as well as the environment. This could be advertised and expanded to be a door to door service, like trash pick-up, once it becomes popular.
