Our house too. Our recycling bin is usually overflowing, while there is room in the garbage bin.

My recycling bin is almost always filled way before my trash bin.  Our city recycles so much and keeps adding to the list of what we can recycle each year.  To make it even easier for us, they allow us to mix everything in one common "recycle" bin vs having to separate everything.  I think this helps to encourage recycling in my area.

I just got myself a composter too - really looking forward to not having to toss our food scraps to further reduce my garbage pile!

I don't really recycle. I do watch my water and electricity use, but more for money than worrying about the environment. I get sick of all the "green" talk, so maybe that's why I don't much care for it.

I agree with you--i only do the "green" things for my benefit. I think most people are that way. You either do environmentally sound things because they are convenient or because you get some sort of positive personal gain for it (money). I don't have curbside recycle, but i still recycle because I get paid at the recycle center (things that don't pay I don't waste my time with). I conserve water, electricity and gas so that I save money. I would like to say that I do it for the environment, but that is just a bonus, I wouldn't care so much if I wasn't compensated for my efforts. I think the majority of people (not all) are this way, whether they will admit it to themselves or not.

It really cuts down on the trash here also and I like to recycle.

I recycle as much as I can. The main things are newspapers, can, paper and plastic bags.
I bring my own bags to the grocrey store
I wish i had more room in my house to recycled things

I walk around my town picking up cans all the time and then take them to the scrap yard and get money for them. We try to recycle as much as we can at my house.
