Stop Throwing It All Away and Recycle!
I recently moved into an established household in which recycling isn’t part of the vocabulary. Twice a week the trash bin was packed so full that there were additional bags sitting on the curb next to the already large container. I saw another, smaller container in a corner of the garage and when I asked, my partner and my roommate both thought it was just another trash bin. It wasn’t.
It was a recycling bin that had never been used. On the top of the bin was listed the items that can be recycled (currently only #1 and #2 plastics, newspaper, cardboard and office paper). Needless to say I jumped on the opportunity to cut down on the trash and though met with a bit of skepticism, the amount of garbage has been cut in half and the recycling bin sits on the curb once a week.
