Recycling

So we signed up for recycling service a month ago from our trash disposal company Allied Waste. We have had the recycling picked up once now after missing the first pickup and I am surprised and slightly embarassed to discover that our trash is so much less full now that we recycle. I am amazed at the amount of recyclable waste that we would normally throw away in the trash bin, which now ends up crammed and compressed in the recycling tub.

When I was growing up we would recycle and my dad would haul all the boxes of this and that down to the dump. That’s the free version. The paid version consists of AW picking it up every other week and I can toss just about anything in the bin without sorting or crushing (though I do crush and rinse). Very nice.

Go me.
