I wish were better about it in our house. The cans and bottles are no problem, but oh the paper, more and more just keeps comming in, from church, work, school--think digital people

REcylcing is the least we can do to relieve the strains our nation puts on third world nations to produce the crap we seem to throw away....most of which is shipped back in the form of trash to those third world nations that produced it...... :peace:

I absolutely recycle what I can. I also compost. I don't really understand people that don't recycle because it isn't really that difficult.

When I lived in the country growing up I used to have to separate out every type of paper, cans, glass, bottles, etc..  I had to take labels off, clean thoroughly, crush all cans all the way. Then we would pile it in the car and spend an hour or more sorting out and putting all the different recycling in different receptacles at the local dump.

It is so easy now that I live in town. Just throw most of it in one bin and put it on the street.

I recycle whatever I can. It takes a lot of people working together to make a difference, but it's possible!  :fish:

Thats so true. In Orcutt they allso have a trash can for lawn. so you get three cans. 1 for trash 1 for recycling and another for lawn. With recycling and lawn there you can fill your trash can so easly. So thats good they do it that way.

I'd recycle cans and bottles and for paper; I'd use it for shipping fillers. We could cut down costs and trees if more of us went digital.

I recycle, but we don't have curbside recycling where i live, so i separate everything in bins in my garage. When I have a good size load, I take it to the recycling center--and get paid in return. It's a pretty good deal ;D

I don't really recycle. I do watch my water and electricity use, but more for money than worrying about the environment. I get sick of all the "green" talk, so maybe that's why I don't much care for it.

I'm glad that where I live has curbside pickup for ours.  When I visit someone that doesn't have recycling, I always feel bad about throwing some things away.

Recycling really cuts down on the trash.  We have two separate cans for recycleables and the rest for nonrecycleables/regular trash.
