February 7, 2009 at 11:29 amGreen Answers offers residential and commercial curbside pick up and they have been fantastic! They pick it all up and no need to sort. There is no limit and you can use any container. I picked them up in November and have been thrilled. They pick up every 2 wks and send me a text reminder the evening before. $15 a month and worth every penny to us!
