It's a relief to me to hear that communities have good programs & especially that other folks use them; I never quite know which practices I follow derive from symptomatic obsession.
I probably overstated making it a law to recycle, but I mainly meant to implement some type of workable incentive(s). Cedars idea of a charge for non-recyclers works for me.
Thanks JayQ for the Aussie view as always. Is it not an option to pay for a bigger can there? Is it a national program or by city or counties (do ya have counties is Australia?
)
Racoon you have prompted me to start composting my vegetable kitchen waste.
Of course you know I have no intention to talk to my neighbors.
Celeste I didn't recall you lived in Utah if you ever even said. Maybe you can join the Hypography Frappr & get on the map!? Every member who hasn't for that matter.
So anyway, 96 gallons is a big cart Celeste, and it's interesting that the state has set it up.
The Recycling is just one of the three R's of course, so we add Reduce & Reuse to the list. As the fourth R that I am (Recluse), I don't go out much so I don't bring much home; oh that my housemates learned by example.
Finally, I took one of the old-style 10 gallon propane tanks Cedars mentioned & made it into a bell. An old piece of closet pole is the clapper & a coffee can lid the wind sail & countereighted with old lead fishing weights. As soon as I hang it I'll post up a photo. That is all.
