Recyclemania

So Fred and I have signed up for Residential recycling. I was getting so tired of our infrequent trips to the recycling depot. We would wait until our bin was full- well overflowing if we are being honest. Also because we didn't go that often we were throwing out things like milk jugs rather then recycling. We had never looked into recycling service before because we assumed it would be too expensive. So not the case. We went with Recycle blue after a recommendation from Fred's coworker. They charge $130 a year with weekly pick up. That works out to $2.50 a week. So worth it! Plus they take things that the city recycling depots don't accept - hard plastics like shampoo bottles, yogurt containers etc. So far we are in week two and it has almost been a game to see all the stuff we can recycle-today I figured out I can recycle our wipes containers and the bag from Shake & Bake. Yahoo (that speaks to our lack of adult entertainment around our house!) We are excited to see how much it reduces our weekly garbage.
