Description
Just today, I had bought a beverage from the convenience store on Temple Street downtown, and headed on over to the green to eat my lunch out in the beautiful day. When I was finished, I scanned the area on the street for a place to recycle my empty bottle, realizing that recycling wasn't possible.
My idea is that Public Works should estimate the percentage of trash that is bottles and cans around that area, that can be recycled. If the amount is great enough, perhaps a study for a design for new recycling bins downtown should be produced.
Please vote on the issue!

It seems like a good idea to at least try out a couple near the highest-traffic locations.
Here's what they look like in Montreal.

This Saturday the Downtown-Wooster Square Community Management Team and Wooster Square Watch are sponsoring a community planning meeting.
Results from the 2010 New Haven quality of life survey are now available and will be a terrific indicator of the areas of focus for improving the quality of life in our neighborhood.
Please join us!

I hope many of you can make it to think strategically as a group about how we as citizens can make a difference in the neighborhood within our broader mission of safety through awareness and prevention.
See you there!

why not a temporary solution in the meantime:
the blue recycling bins used residentially placed next to a handful of garbage cans?

they have added a few green metal receptacles by a few of the garbage ones downtown.
are there any plans to expand on this effort, win? i would love to see more.
