Will Weekly Recycling Increase the Amount Recycled?

Weekly recycling pickup got started this week in Beverly.

A postcard reminding residents about the new program arrived in mailboxes across the city this week.

At least one Beverly Patch reader commented earlier this week that she did not think that weekly recycling will increase the amount of material that is recycled. Recycling saves the city money, since recycled material is disposed for free while the city pays a so-called "tipping fee" for trash at the Saugus incinerator.

If you recycle, will you recycle more with weekly recycling? If you don't recycle, will you start recycling with weekly collection? Let us known in the comments.
