As a senior citizen who gladly engages in recycling, I find the 64-gallon cart to be ideal. I like putting all the recycling items in one container and just wheeling it to the curb.

Hopefully, Manatee County will expand its use to include businesses and fraternal tax-exempt organizations and other social entities who generate a lot of recyclables that wind up in the landfill.
