San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom wants to make recycling in the city of San Francisco mandatory and if residents do not comply, their garbage pickup would cease. Mayor Newsom is happy about the recent news that shows that the city keeps 70 percent of its recyclable trash out of landfills. However, the mayor would like that number to rise to 75 percent. What do you think?

YES !!!!
That’s how it should be in all cities,as well as in all other towns.
In Europe is had been that way for a number of years.
If one dumps the wromg stuff in a recycler can,and gets found out,a fine will be charged to the sinner.
Glass is devided by 3 different large bins.
White bin for clear glass,green for green glass,brown for brown glass.
One can see those large containers w. round top,containing a small round hole to insert the glass bottles,etc.
everywhere standing in the streets.
Yes!!!!! Let all cities follow suit. And lets make it easier for folks to do. In addition to home pick up, have sites to drop off on way to work, way home, where you eat lunch etc. – convenient places and large signage to remind us to recycle.
Yes, make it mandatory! I read where 75% of everything that is in landfills are things that could have been recycled. I used to live in the SF Bay Area but now live in Oklahoma. Pathetic to see how many people here do not recycle even though they have recycle bins and trucks to pick them up once a week. SF should lead the way.
Way to go San Francisco. Rest of U. S. needs to follow their example. In the Midwest, recycling is non-existent. Ask someone here where one can leave off recycling, and the comment is an ignorant “Huh?”
The city of Washington, D.C. did not have any recycling at all until the Sierra Club sued them in court a couple years ago and forced them to start. One problem in America in public places is that many people are total IDIOTS and cannot be trusted to drop just recyclable containers in public recycling cans; they will also drop random trash there. Bravo to San Francisco – they were also the first city to wisely ban the use of City funds to buy bottled water (for official parties and events, etc.)
