i definitely do! I wish we could recycle more stuff.  My recycle bin is almost full every single week and my garbage can is usually only a little tiny bit on the bottom.  I think I do pretty good :)

Yes we are big on recycling if we put something in the trash that needs to be recycled we get yelled at. LOL

I recycle all of my pop cans and aluminum cans. Have not found where to recycle the paper at around here yet though I am sure there is a place to do so.

What I would do is go to the store and get a plastic bin store all the paper u want to recycle and then either call your local sanitation dept and ask them if there is a specific truck that picks up just paper or does the normal recycling guys do it.

I don't recycle at home. I wanted to, but my mom said that it wasn't worth the effort.  We recycle at school though.

We recycle at home - plastic bottles and paper, newspapers, and cardboard.  Our local trash facility does not yet have yet recycling for glass, but hopefully soon it will.  I do think "Green" is catching on more, thankfully.

Yes and it is kind of a gimick thing down here in the fact that the waste collection department sells the little blue recycle bags and they get the money for recycling.   With the idea of course that it keeps our waste collection costs down.  So we put everything recyclable in the little blue bags and put it on the curb every thrusday.

honestly, i recycle without even knowing it...
i don't consciously think to recycle at home, nor really
even do it for the environment (i'm not a litter bug, don't
get me wrong!)

but yes, i definitely recycle plastic grocery bags and use
them for trash liners. i always recycle tissue paper/gift bags,
too.

i love goodwill/thrift stores, so i suppose that's a form of
recycling too!

I can say that I recycle at home, however I can't say that I'm super green and always do the best thing for the enviroment, I know, I know, I wish I did. But sometimes the trash cans that much closer, or its just easier to put your clothes in the dryer than it is the clothes line. I really try, but I'm the only one in my house that does much more than recycle and try and walk more often.  :peace: felt a hippie symbol was 'propriate

Yep! I recycle everything I can! It's fun going down to the store and seeing how much money you can get for some used up plastic bottles :D
