I try to help keep the earth clean as best as I can, I recycle a lot, and I toss my old bread/cereal, etc...out for the birds to keep it out of landfills. I know a lot of states/regions are slow adopters to recycling, but I think it’s very commonplace now, do you guys recycle?

We used to have curbside recycling a few years ago but they stopped doing it. Just recently they put a recycle container right up the street but you have to only recycle certain things and drop it off. I don't mind doing it. Just trying to do my part.

Recycle aluminum cans for$$, take all our paper, cardboard, plastic etc to bins for recycling. Took some scrap in last week for $50 .....copper, brass etc.

Everything around here has gone single stream. Whatever it is, metal, plastic, paper, goes in one can and the processing plant separates it.

 

[metaldad]

all winds up in the same garbage truck

 

[IMSHOT]

Lol we used to recycle cardboard at work... the garbage truck would pick it up.

We do around here. Blue can for paper/aluminum and black for everything else. It gets separated at the landfill.

Apparently a lot of people I know including my girl never learned the reduce part of reduce, reuse, recycle. Filling up the damn recycling can with not broken down boxes and bottles /cans not crushed. Our recycling is all recyclables in the same container.

we do our best to recycle..... but the plastic jugs the DEF comes in are burned .... guess it helps offset the no soot from the pickup...

They used to do it here, but now they sort it at the landfill. We have convenience centers you can dump at, too, but you have to sort all of that to go in the correct dumpsters. You can dump a couch or a washing machine or whatever, as long as you put it in the right dumpster.

As much as i hate the government i still think it should be federal law, recycle every thing possible..stop filling up the land and oceans with trash

 

[BadgeZ28]

Our garbage service does it. They have limited what they take since China stopped buying out trash.

Condoms are easy to recycle but you have to turn them inside out and shake the fuck out of them first .

Recycling is a joke. Seattle, eg, is banning drinking straws which adds up to "hundreds of pounds" meanwhile TONS of unusable plastic comes from other sources. You buy shit in the store, sometimes the bubble pack has more material and is stronger than the product, good example is memory cards and USB "sticks" They come in a giant heavy plastic bullshit


THE WAY TO RECYCLE is to actually use stuff either for what it was intended or re-purposed rather than buying new. Shit most the clothes I wear came from the thrift store. I probably have 30 pair of blue jeans (pretty much all I wear) many of which are torn "working on cars" pants, some better, for 'work' and a few for "dress." ALL came from the thrift. Haven't bought a new pair of jeans in over 20 years.


My lawnmower is a Honda from the thrift for THIRTY SEVEN BUCKS.

I recycle cars. My S10 was bought as a wreck and fixed with stuff from Pull-a-Part.

Around here cars are $60 a ton... its ridiculous!

 

[ummduh]

They pick up the garbage every week, the recycling every other. I recycle til the can is full then the rest goes in the garbage. Quite often it's full after the first week.

In CA they picked up both every week, the recycling was 2x the size of the garbage. A lot more got recycled there. But I'm not going out of my way to do it here if they aren't even willing to pick it up every week like the trash.
