I know it has been a while since I have done a post here, much has happened, like too many hours at the "jobby job", wedding cake, promotion, and well a couple of other things.
One of the things was changing trash companies. The one I went with, offers recycling container. Now, so do some others, and many times you end up sorting the trash, and humans being humans, we can get lazy.
The company I went with allows you to combine the recyclables. Yep, cardboard, glass, aluminum foil, cans, drink containers. At first I didn't think it would be a big deal, but I started throwing the junk mail in, the plastic bottles, glass bottles, cardboard.
I am amazed at how much stuff one person can recycle. Things you don't realize, wrappers from the butter, the container the butter comes in, sugar bags, flour bags, the plastic containers things come in, boxes from pudding, cans, foil pans, egg containers, shopping bags. You name it. It truly is amazing.
Now the only thing you may have to adjust to doing is rinse off the foil, cans and containers. I do that anyway, I dislike bugs, and rinsing out food containers and cans help prevent them.
I filled a 64 gallon recycle container in about three weeks. Yes, it does help that I bake, but if every trash removal company would offer this type of service, and people would be willing just to rinse the stuff off, we could make a HUGE difference in the trash in landfills.
So if your trash company offers this service, take them up on it. It will amaze you how much you can recycle and help our planet.
