      <![CDATA[Well, one good thing about this blue cart system will be that it will enable our city's small army of street recycling entrepreneurs to more safely access those materials that they regularly seek, without having to dig through general, and potentially dangerous, waste. 
    
    A more efficient process will assist those of meager means to survive.
    
    Hopefully, the authorities will not be actively harassing these hard-working, independent souls.
    
    If anything, blue carts should be given to any who are willing to do the labor-intensive tasks of collecting salable recyclables and hauling them to the centers that purchase same.

      <![CDATA[For raising another question about recycling, as in, will people in the slums of Pilsen, Marquette Park, Garfield Park, Grand Crossing, Chicago Lawn, Little Village and Humboldt Park actually recycle?  It's an honest-to-god question.  Where people are loitering, many are litering.  It seems like a waste of money to even attempt to get them to recycle when they don't even throw their garbage in cans.  
    
    Like I said, not everyone is Beverly or Sauganash, Wicker Park or Lincoln Park.

      <![CDATA[Let's face it - the Blue Bag program was never about recycling. It was about figuring out a way to insure that mayoral crony and alleged Mob figure Fred Barbara got a lucrative contract. If a few things got recycled, fine, and if not, that was fine too. 
    
    I can honestly say that every single blue bag I've seen in a dumpster at my building has been one that I've put there, and I live in the 47th Ward, which supposedly has the highest Blue Bag participation rate in the City. 
    
    If City money - to the tune of $40 million a pop - is available to subsidize corporate relocations within the Loop (and it is available), then there's enough for Blue carts.
    
    Richie's just hopeless - if he had to organize a two car funeral, it would cost $400,000, and the dead guy wouldn't get buried for three years

      <![CDATA[I used to be in the 1st Ward, one of the Wards that is in the pilot program. The Blue Carts have labels on the lids showing everything that can be put in them.  Streets and Sanitation also dropped off flyers at all of the houses that were getting carts explaining the program.  Alderman Flores also had community meetings on the program as well.
