Recycling - amazing amount

[krazyaboutkatz]

I live in a condo complex and we have several recycling bins by the trash dumpsters. We used to have to put only certain items in the recycling bins but now we can just mix everything together. I usually only recycle paper products. I also save aluminum cans but I take them in to get money for them.

Here we have two wheely bins, one for green waste, and another for plain old rubbish. Then we have two black plastic boxes, one for paper, and the other for glass/plastic.

My town is pretty good. We have commingle (glass, metals, and plastics 1 and 2) weekly, cardboard and newspaper monthly. Starting in June any marked plastic (1-7) will be recyclable, which I like since a lot of stuff comes in 3 (polypropylene), 5 (vinyl) and 6 (polystyrene). (I'm not sure I have the codes right.)

We've been recycling for years. We do have to separate the papers from the rest but that's it. We only have to rinse jars and other containers but they can all go in the same bin, even foil pie plates, the cardbord boxes they are packed in can just go with papers.
We even have a special smaller bin for our greens, and all wet garbage but when the bags are full we toss them in a pile that we keep and when everything is composted we use it for our own fertilizer for the flower beds and the garden.
The only thing we can't put in the green bin is meat or meat by-products.
