I would prefer to haul it myself rather than pay the two separate companies that contract for the city, but the one nice thing is that we don't have to sort, everything recyclable goes in and the city sorts it (but that's what makes it expensive too!)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-69210994783189290362013-03-14T08:24:53.477-05:002013-03-14T08:24:53.477-05:00The only thing we recycle is aluminum cans, they g...The only thing we recycle is aluminum cans, they go in the new fire truck fund bin for our local Rural Fire District.

The recycler won't take them and I can't burn them. <br />Here is the burn barrel incinerator link if you want to see it, it works great and nothing can fly out and start a fire plus the critters can't get into it. http://movingontothepast.blogspot.com/2012/11/let-sparks-fly-making-burn-barrel.htmlKathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-8181309909902347212013-03-13T21:39:03.033-05:002013-03-13T21:39:03.033-05:00We've never had garbage service out where we l...We've never had garbage service out where we live. Every few weeks it's a trip to the county landfill with a load of trash, so we do what we can to keep it to a minimum. We do what you do -- recycle what we can, feed critters with what's edible, and feed the compost the other organic waste. We also have a pile of canvas totes in the backs of our vehicles so we can pack our stuff home in our own bags (some grocery stores actually give a small discount if you bring your own bags). It's made a difference.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343313551217575070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-23156793108960769602013-03-13T19:34:17.968-05:002013-03-13T19:34:17.968-05:00Check out this blogspot.

They don't pay us for the stuff we bring in but, on the other hand, we don't have to pay to get rid of it. (Well, okay, I suppose we DO pay through our tax dollars but still . . . )<br /><br />I LOVE to buy in bulk and do so as much as I can which does reduce packaging. But there are still some things we need that we don't have much control over. I'm thinking of a tool hubby bought recently (through the mail) which came so over packaged in cardboard AND molded plastic that it took him 1/2 an hour to get it opened.

My ultimate plan is to stop buying so I don't have to worry about what to do with them!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-10069358826693206342013-03-13T16:43:02.056-05:002013-03-13T16:43:02.056-05:00No recycling comments but your new Nyan cat backgr...No recycling comments but your new Nyan cat background is cute!

And have horrendous hold-music. So, it's back to the transfer station for me. This will force me to not bring anything I can't recycle into the house. Which will greatly limit my purchases. Which will save me money. See where I'm going with this?

Id be rich.... because Im the one who would be scouring the roadsides and parks for stuff to take in. We also have a scrap pile (in the garage!) for bigger and multiple pieces and of course aluminum cans..even my neighbor saves me his. Also I dont think Walmart cares where the bags came from.... I wonder if they get paid for recycling those?<br /><br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-82149859185559090352013-03-13T12:47:08.064-05:002013-03-13T12:47:08.064-05:00I'm impressed.

In principle, I am all for "reduce, reuse, recycle", but to do it well does require a major effort and even then you're left with all the bits of plastic, like you said. My attitude towards the plastic is to at least try to prefentially buy items with less packaging to start with. I do think our society is way behind the times in enabling the mountains of packaging waste that we do.

There's a place about an hour and a half away that does, but it's not worth it because of the gas costs. We do save our aluminum and Paul has a "scrap" heap down in the woods somewhere and we'll take that in to the "pay" recycling place once we get enough. But honestly, I'm just glad we finally have a place that will take the recyclables.
