The post whore thread.

Is that in some of the fluff they cram in with my bills?

I routinely fill my recycle can, and I pack the sum-bee-otch, and then it goes in the trash can.

We generate WAY more recycle materials than true trash.

(What I consider recyclable... They might disagree... But, they can deal with it)

I agree. I don't know why Amazon wouldn't start a box recycling program. Even a place to drop off used boxes would be used and save them money.

I read something, or watched a video or something, actually, I think it was the episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit about recycling, that said that when you put non-recyclable stuff in the bin, they'll just toss the whole bin. That show was a long time ago, so I'm not sure what the efficiency would be today. Again, I wish they'd pick up the recycle every week.

Here you go Ray. Let me know if you'd like the schedule as well.

Trash and Recycling is part of our HOA fees. Both are large bins provided by the company.
Recycle every other week - similar list as above
Trash every week
Depends on the driver of the recycle truck how strict he is - I think that means if he is really ambitious enough to get out of the truck and dump the bin.
We started tipping at Christmas and give them bottles of water in the summer.
Now, they move the bins back up to the garage and wave when they see us.
The old adage: "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar"

They mail them to you every year. We got the rules twice this year. I recycle until I can't fit anymore.

Job security or idiocracy?

If they come on Tuesday I might be tempted to try it out. That?s my regular trash day. I don?t think saving the planet is worth me dealing with having to get cans to the curb on two separate days.

Well, shoot...

According to that, I am within the roolz 99% of the time...

Who'd a thunk?

[Grant H.]

Job security or idiocracy?

Have you met most of society?

Most of society probably reads that every time is "oh snap, they changed the roolz again... good to know..."

But, they likely haven't changed...

I am just happy I don't live year around in the Florida Keys.
Mandatory Recycling, strict rules of what goes in which can, 3 different days of pick-up.
If you don't comply, they don't pick up, and then an officer writes a ticket.
It is kind of fun for a couple of weeks of visiting, but it gets confusing at times.

Out here, the trash company we picked said, when asked about a recycle bin. No Problem all in 1 bin. We sort it out at the facility. Yeah but we wrap dog waste in plastic grocery bags,silence on the other end of line. No Problem.
