A few weeks ago Jackson had its annual week when people could put on the curb a lot of items that normally were not in the guidelines of trash pickup. I think this is a wonderful service and wish it was twice a year. I got tickled at myself and others driving around to look at the piles. While it is great to clean up, I was saddened to see so much set out that could have gone to recycling instead of the landfill.
