Don't get me wrong, I care about the earth, but if it became a hassle for me and if the man that comes around every week to pick up the recyclables from my house stopped coming, I would not be recycling until it became convenient again. On that note, definitely not judging you, haha.

Then every local supermarket will have places to recycle batteries and carrier bags and other bits and bobs. There's not a lot that you're forced to put in the bin, but if I'm honest I am sometimes a little lazy even when it's made so easy for me!Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08388078301863394716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153019921124755343.post-33129097062894891082014-05-05T11:04:50.788-04:002014-05-05T11:04:50.788-04:00You're in the south where they don't do &q...You're in the south where they don't do "that there recycling." LOL! Where I grew up recycling is nonexistent. I didn't even learn about it until I went to college.

I cringe inwardly very time I have to throw away a perfectly recyclable plastic container because they don't take it. This simple eco act shouldn't be so difficult! Did I mention we have to haul our own garbage and recycling to the town dump? Oy. I'm not a finicky girl, but curbside pick-up is a "luxury" I look forward to upon moving. :)Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10288420792275248400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153019921124755343.post-70816261945987142502014-05-02T11:53:49.387-04:002014-05-02T11:53:49.387-04:00I'm able to recycle quite easily where i live ...I'm able to recycle quite easily where i live in FL. The city that I live in provides a large bin and they pick up every 2 weeks.

When we moved to Alaska, I was super shocked that recycling was practically invisible. We weren't in an area with regular recycling pickup, so we had to drive out of our way to a depot. Even then, what could be recycled was minimal. The thing that killed me the most was that since everything has to be shipped out of the state on a boat, there wasn't any glass recycling!! It was way too expensive to ship. I felt so guilty throwing glass into the garbage. For a place largely untouched by man, it was kind of disappointing to see.Mar @ t.o. and frohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13723134528141043837noreply@blogger.com
