Why Can't Chicago Recycle?

Chicago Reader:

Here's how recycling in Chicago works now--or, rather, how it doesn't:

If you live in a residential building with four or fewer units, you're supposed to put your recyclables into blue carts and set them out by your trash every two weeks--though in some areas pickup has been slowed to once every three weeks, and in most neighborhoods there are no blue carts yet. If you don't have a blue cart, you can take your recyclables to one of the city's 33 drop-off centers and hope the bins there aren't already too full.
