It's really a good thing to have a recyle program but what I resent the most is having to pay to get rid of this stuff and than the county or who ever gets more money from someone else. There are better ways to recycle this stuff without it costing you any money - sorry but that is how I feel, especially when your county is the one taking in the items.
