Do You Recycle??

Do you recycle? We do! We have been for about 3 years now, and we will continue to do it! In my kitchen I have a laundry sorter that we use to recycle. We use a company called We Recycle that picks up a bag every Monday! We acutally have two bags, one for Plastic, cardboard, paper, cans...and a second bag for glass only. Since we recycle about 80% of the things that most people throw away, that means we do not have as much Trash going into the dumpster. We do a bi-weekly trash pick up and usually never have a full dumpster, unless we did something major over the two weeks. In the laundry sorter we have the left side, that we put papers, plastics and cardboard. The middle we put the glass, this takes forever to fill up, and when its full we send the glass bag with the regular recycle. The right side we have soda and beer cans, and we CAN recycle these with We Recycle, but we DON'T. We save them and take them to a place that pays us for the aluminum. We usually take other items in about once a month and get between $20-$50! The best part about our recycle center, is that its a curb side pick up, so we just leave the recycle bag by the front porch every Monday and they pick it up and leave us a new bag! Both my kids help with putting things into the recycle, and we feel great that we are cutting back the waste going into the dumpster!
