I am really into environmental stuff, so bear with me..
I am psyched because last week our garbage company picked up our cheesy recycling bins (crate size) and we got a huge garbage can for all recyclables. Interesting concept to throw paper in with cans, etc.. but a really good week to start it since we have a ton of recyclables from the holidays (boxes etc). Anyone else have this?
Re: Commingled recycling
Oooh, I *wish* we had the big bins! We have comingled recycling, but it's only the small bins. We have to take out our overflowing bin each week, and we only take out the trash every other week or so. I wish we could switch!
When we were in the UK last year, they have three medium-sized dumpsters - one for recycling, one for compostables, and one for actual trash. I would love to be able to do that here!
We have bigger bins in Albany than I've ever seen. They're the usual crate sized base, but they're tall, like about as tall as our trash can.
We still have a blue for plastic/glass/metal and a green for paper though. I am bummed that we can only recycle #1 and 2, but there are a lot of papery things you can throw in there- we keep the flyer on our fridge- cause we're recycling dorks too.
