Recycling

Ca offers recycling pickup,

what really burns me is that CA charges CRV .4 c / container yet there are not enough recycling centers to take your bottles or cans and get that CRV back.

I want my .4 cents back! I think any state that charges a CRV should make sure that there are enough reccling centers that consumers can redeem their bottels and cans and get their CRV back.

There are not enough centers as it is, and half the time the nes in South Bay are never working properly.

I want my .4 cents back!

My apartment complex has a trash-compaction-dumpster with some bins for cardboard and newspapers (and printer/copier paper). Grocers offer recycle bins for plastic bags--so I take all-but-a-few (the ones I use for HOLDING trash, either from home or vehicle) to these.

Our city offers recycling...we have a drop off centre for that. Another way of "recycling" for me is donating all my old clothes and those of my daughter, to the goodwill facility.

The city offers it but only does curbside pickup at houses, not at apartments or businesses, so if you live in an apartment, you have to take it in. My husband claims that it takes more energy to drive the car to the recycling center than it does to make all the new cans and bottles (and he usuallly knows these things, I don't think he's making excuses), so we don't.

I miss living in Spain, where every street corner had four different trash dumpsters on it—trash, paper, cans, and glass.

I am lucky because most of the Albertson's around here have a self serve building on thier parking lot where they take the cans and bottles.. Then you get a reciept which you can cash at the Albertson's or use it against the cost of your grocerices

I saw that in Montreal too! Dumpcans on the street had where you could put cans, bottles, paper etc!

I live in Germany, so yeah, I recycle about 80% of my trash.

In Canada we returned all our bottles and cans for money. Here you don't get money.

But we do have a bin for garbage and a bin for recycling. They are both picked up every Tuesday. I find with the recycling and the garbage disposal the amount of garbage we create is really down.

I recycle here in Phoenix. It has taken a bit to get my wife (from Ukraine) to get into it. She actually never thought about where garbage goes before. For her it just got put in the bin in the kitchen and then her dad would take care of the rest!
