City of Orlando launching a garbage experiment

The city of Orlando is launching a garbage experiment to keep recycling bins from overflowing.  

Currently the city collects trash twice a week and recycling every other week.  People have complained that their trash cans are only half filled when the garbage trucks come, but their recycling bins are always overflowing.  

For the experiment the city has selected 7 neighborhoods to take part in a 6 month experiment.  During that time the city will collect both, recycling and trash, once a week.  If the results are good, the entire city could make the switch.
