Re-cycle?

I recently moved here from Scottsdale AZ. We had a pretty effective re-cycle program out there, they took paper, plastic cartons, glass, cardboard, everything but lawn waste. I am a single man, and I would generate an average of 4-5 re-cycle containers to every container of household trash, food scrap, coffee grounds plastic bags etc. living in Arizona. After three months here I’m generating about 2 trash containers a week full that go to the city dump instead of being re-cycled. A city the size of Wichita Falls I’m surprised to see the only thing they re-cycle is organic material. Anyone know why that is? I don’t want to start a fight, I’m just curious. Thank you and have a lovely day.
