Dear Editor,

[Re: LETTER: Please rethink recycling changes?, Feb. 7, The News]

I totally agree with the letter from Neal Canning.

We have had a very efficient system of recycling collection for some 10 years.

Now, this is being turned over to a private, for-profit company that has created a confusing system for our recycling that appears to be very inefficient as well, using separate vehicles to pick up stuff on the same day.

I can only guess how soon our recycling fees will escalate with this screwy system.
