Question

Read the passage.

The city recycling program is inconvenient. Instead of having to drop off recyclables at the city center, residents should have the option of another drop-off location, or collection should be made at the curb, alongside the trash cans. More residents will participate in recycling efforts if the materials are collected alongside trash pickups.
