'We've got the numbers and they are less than underwhelming; they're pitiful,' says one consumer advocate of the number of bottles and cans collected by SF BottleBank so far.
SAN FRANCISCO -- There are only two recycling centers set up by the San Francisco BottleBank mobile recycling program. So how are they doing?
. There is not much on its website; a couple of PDF posters and the logos of some of San Francisco's larger grocers., the Alliance is listed as a partner. No consumer group gets that billing. In a letter asking for an investigation into potential fraud, Consumer Watchdog says grocers did not want to take back bottles and cans, and now, because of this pilot mobile program, they haven't had to accept empties since last summer, while consumers are still waiting for their mobile recycling.
"So this was $700,000 not for a single counting machine, not for a single truck. All for consultants to figure out how to make this plan work when it was up and running and it's not working, and this $700,000 as far as we can tell has gone into thin air," says Court.
