We recycle as much as we can since we live on a farm & store household garbage in a utility trailer until we haul it to the nearest county dump. I used to have 3 large blue bins for recycling but changed to smaller green bins with paper bags to separate as some years we are away more than we are home. Batteries, electronics, glass, tin, cardboard & newspaper are all separated and taken to RediRecycle in town. Beverage containers are taken to the wood shed and the can are crushed in a garbage compactor before being taken to Redi for cash back. 10 cents a can, 25 for 2 litre bottles. It’s my mad money. A pedicure here. A manicure there. A treat that’s not in the budget.
Some days I find myself removing recyclables from the garbage can. It has taken me many years to retrain the step children and even though they are grown & gone, they continue the new tradition and hubby relapses every so often.
Not sure if Princess Purrl is helping or hindering but she is definitely not recyclable.
