The nearby (5 miles) Little Rock Air Force Base has a wonderful recycling center, and will take almost anything except styrofoam. That's ALL sorts of plastic, metal, and paper. I do sort by type, and separate newspapers and mixed papers from office paper and cardboard but that's about it. Since beginning to use this service, my landfill trash has been reduced by at least 75%. It's amazing what CAN be recycled.<br /><br />Nice take on the theme.Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-59395686474868016432009-05-25T15:30:29.854-05:002009-05-25T15:30:29.854-05:00i had no idea there was that many types of plastic...i had no idea there was that many types of plastic. i hope more people get into recyclingTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563154621614376842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-34649875149478601072009-05-24T21:40:32.615-05:002009-05-24T21:40:32.615-05:00Great take on the theme! :)Great take on the theme! :)SabineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02686426828860840308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-66046022441398776762009-05-24T14:45:41.795-05:002009-05-24T14:45:41.795-05:00PERFECT!

We must rinse out all plastics and can, ewww who wouldnt anyways? But the same truck comes by, automatic arms lift the recycling box up and dump with everything mixed together...glass, newspapers, plastic and aluminum cans...It makes no sense to me! I live in a condo, where we have no choices about garbage and recycling pickup, we are just expected to pay with our home owners monthly dues. It's ludicrous!

I mean, it makes sense to think that one should not just readily throw away things one doesn't want any more. And yet, it can be more expensive to recycle it than it might be worth. I suppose the best answer is to try to not buy/get more than you need. This way you are less inclined to throw away -- or, at least, have fewer things to dump.YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-27890257770082752212009-05-23T09:08:08.697-05:002009-05-23T09:08:08.697-05:00that serves as a great reminder to save our enviro...that serves as a great reminder to save our environment for our future generations.LifeRamblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671888795238528513noreply@blogger.com
