People were filling the recycling bins with bags of their garbage. These were probably people from outside of the village because I assume they didn't want to pay to have it picked up. The recycling company was determining that the garbage content in the bins was too high and just dumping them as garbage, not recyclables. So basically the village was using the tax money of people in town who were paying for garbage pickup already to just dump additional garbage. So there was little choice but to get rid of them. There will be a public work session at the village hall on Saturday morning January 16th where public input is sought for the future of garbage and recycling in Covington. Everyone who has input is urged to attend.
