Recycling

My recycle can is full every week

We recycle cans, plastics, boxes, etc. Not perfect about it, but I'd say we get about 80-85% of what can be recycled in there.

My recycling bin was either stolen or washed away or something several months ago and I have never gotten around to calling for another one.

I don't really care that much.

we got rid of curbside recycling and I cut backed drinking cokes, so I don't recycle. I even toss aluminum cans in the trash now. I used to save cans, but you need so much for it to be worth anything you have these large piles of bags full of cans.
Then have to go to the scrap yard and get nails in your tires. Just not worth it.

If we had curbside recycling I would go back to having two cans in the kitchen.

I throw everything in the recycling bin and let the folks deal with it

I recycle probably twice as much stuff as I throw in the trash.

I need a recycle bin the size of my trash can. And it never fails that a holiday falls on recycle day, so I end up with an overflowing recycle bin and a trash can that's barely got anything in it. We compost as well, so there's not a whole lot that goes into the actual trash can. I go weeks without dragging it to the curb, but I'll be damned if I'll miss a week bringing the recycle bin out.

I know of no such provided opportunity or service to recycle things around here. Most folks probably think it means ride your bike again.
