There is also a bin at Admiral and Charlotte that takes all paper products.
There is a bin at the south entrance to MARC's parking lot as well, for all you Quality Hill and Garment district folks. I always ASSUMED it was for all paper products but now that it seems there might be a distinction between newspaper and other stuff based on some posts I see here, I hope I haven't been tossing the wrong stuff in it. Anyone know the story with that particular dumpster; Beccanator perhaps? Also, is there really no glass drop off anywhere in the greater downtown area? I always keep my eyes peeled for one but end up just tossing my glass much of the time.

We get the service for free. You carry your cans and bottles out to the dumpster and a few hours later you can watch the neighborhood homeless rifle through the trash for cans and bottles to take for redemption. Why bother implementing an expensive city run system?
This is exactly what I do with my aluminum. Once I get a bag full I bundle it up and sit it in the dumpster area (not IN the dumpster) and within 24 hours it is always gone. Helping the homeless AND recycling all at once. Anytime I clean out my cabinents of old canned goods it seems I'll never use, or throw away anything that might appeal to a homeless person for that matter I do the same with it. More often than not my offerings are accepted. If something stays there for more than three or four days, I then chuck it in the dumpster.
