It’s mandatory for citizens to recycle, it’s not mandatory for landlords to provide curbside service. Several of the rural towns in the state don’t even provide curbside trash service and it’s on the individual to contract themselves or go drop off at the town transfer station.

The city contracts with WM for any bldg with six or fewer units but the big apartment complexes are on their own as they operate on a scale that would necessitate a dumpster instead of the 96gal cans that go in front of people’s houses. Dumpsters and cans need different trucks and the city doesn’t contract for any of those.

If you’re a student, does your school recycle? I’d say probably just dump a small bag every day on your way to class.

A lot of towns have recycling drop-offs at the town DPW. I can’t find any reference to that for NP - maybe being so close they just assume folks will drive to RIRRC?

The small vehicle area can handle recycling drop off for RI residents.

Given what a mess the Big Dig was at the time, I can’t really fault lawmakers for not wanting to put their names on it - but imagine if instead of rebuilding, they buried the highway. The Kennedy Greenway is so nice compared to this.

> bidirectional bus lanes for Washington

A diagram would be helpful, I’m trying to picture this part - do they mean that weird little bus-only turn lane that’s already there or do they mean a dedicated lane all the way into KP? The latter would be a game changer and would benefit more than just the tunnel-bound busses. The EP and East Bay busses also come up Main and cross the river at Washington, if I’m not mistaken.
