Recycling
« on: April 15, 2015, 04:08:37 pm »
Do you recycle?  I recycle for money like aluminum and metals.  I also recycle plastic shopping bags for trash can liners.  I also recycle old t-shirts for rags.

Oh yeah, all the time.  I use the store plastic bags for trash, I keep any cans  the big ones  and put my transplanted plants in them getting them bigger for my garden, pieces of hose for plant supports old tee shirts for cleaning and grease rags. If you really think about things we recycle a lot. I use old news papers to start my wood stove.

I recycle as much as I can like newapapers, metal cans, cardboard, glass. When I recycle I find that I have very little trash to throw away. I aways bring back the plasic bottle and soda cans for redemtion. I wish that our state bottle bill included all beverage bottles and cans. Many bottled watercompanies  arn't included in the law. If they all were I think it would make a big difference in the land fills. :rainbow: :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:

I am a big fan of recycling and I think everybody should if they can!  We need to take more pride in helping our environment thrive rather than hurting the earth!

I wish we had started recycling decades ago. I reuse my shopping bags for bin liners, I reuse water bottles (I refill them with boiled, cooled water), I reuse my plant bot holders, my empty cleaning containers and rather than throw away toys which my kids don't use anymore, I give them away to charities.

I love recycling and do it every chance I get.  I have been recycling aluminum cans since I was seventeen (I am now fifty two) and reinvested every cent made-I have averaged about a penny a can.  I have increased my aluminum can recycling goals in order to pay for the gas in my scooter (which get one hundred and eighty five miles to the tank.  I recycle all of our grocery bags when cleaning up doggy doo or putting a liner in my office waste basket. I have been drinking water out of an aluminum water bottle that I got five years ago and figure that I am saving about a dollar fifty a day by not buying bottled water.  I always break down all of our bulky trash items so as to leave a smaller carbon print on our ecology.

I do recycled a lot of card board boxes. Sometimes I get some extra change from it and sometimes when it's too full at the recycling place when I go there then I just take them straight to their bin area where you just drop and leave. But I don't get very much from it.

I hardly recycle. I think it is annoying. I cannot stand having different bags for different things. I through everything out in a black bag.

I do as much as I can, but really is not much.  We have a recycle bin and a trash can, but I have no space in the kitchen to put the recycle bin, so I recycle the big stuff like cans, juice box (the big ones) or juice containers (like Apple) and boxes but not little things or bottles of water to much for me.  I want to do better but not much patience on my part and my family.

I recycle cans and bottles that have a deposit on them. I used to be very active at collecting them from the sides of the roads, but that past year I slacked off, because I haven't been feeling well. I really need to get outside more, so I think I'll try to do more can collecting this year.
