I need an opinion here...?

I'll side with you on this. I"ve had my dilemas with recycling and think it unfair we have to pay to actually HELP our planet. However in the long run it's better to recycle and pay than to just not recycle at all i mean we ARE saving our planet. However I think you should be able, if you don't want to recycle, to cancel the service. I myself have orange bins and am not sure if blue is any different but from experiecne i am allowed to cancel my recycling any time. So I would check around for any loop holes in this situation and if not consider asking a lawyer friend if they are really able to do this.
