I asked at the Lake Area Disposal headquarters yesterday when I took a
couple bags of crushed soda cans in. I was told that they had tried the
all-in-one and sort it method but the compartmented trucks and doing
the sorting at the curbside worked best for them. 

They are contracted to the city and part of their deal is to employ
workers from various re-hab programs. Sort of a win-win for all.  Bv)=
