Recycle!

It's simple! Really! It is!

Before curbside, some may have seen it as more of a task. You'd have to seperate your stuff, drive it to the recyling center and drive home. How often could you make time to go? Where would you store it for weeks at a time between trips? What a pain!

But it's all different now! They pick it up AT YOUR HOUSE! It's simple, you pay them 36 dollars every six months. The supply everything. The drivers, the seperaters and the trash can.

Previously it was up to you to seperate your items into groups. From there you'd have to bag them in the 3-4 different types of bags to put at the curb.

You don't even have to do that anymore! Throw it all in on can and they pick it up!

Do it, you'd be surprised at how easy it is! Not only that, there is sooo much that you can recycle. By doing this you use less of your trash bags! Thus saving money!

Here's a test to see how much of a difference you can make:

For one week, don't throw away any of the following items:
soda/beer cans
plastic juice bottles
boxes of all sorts - examples being boxes that crackers, rice, cake mix, pasta, etc. come in
soup cans
laundry detergent containers
plastic shopping bags
junk mail - magazines, ads,
the plastic cartons that berries come in in the grocery store
etc.

ANYTHING that comes in a plastic bottle, container, aluminum can, or cardboard box. Save it - start a seperate trash can if you have to and see how much stuff you accumulate in just ONE week!
If at the end of that week you think that you've gathered a significant amount of trash that could be recycled, go to the following web page and sign up - try it - just a 6 month trial:

That's my blog action - blog of the day.

Hope it influences at least one person to do the right thing!

is this your "environment blog" or whatever? you chose a great topic. I am inspired. especially now that everything goes in one bin and THEY do all the sorting. I still have a problem paying to recycle though. i really think it should be free. but whatever. you know i've been on the edge about recycling for a while now, so maybe, just maybe, you inspired me enough to go ahead and just do it!

Yup, that is in fact my environment blog.

One trash can - a big one - like the kind you get from BFI or where ever and you just toss it all in. It's gotten much easier!

It does suck to pay for it... but what can you do?
