I recycle plastic bags by using them to line my smaller trash cans in the bathrooms.  And, if my husband gets more than a few metal items he will haul them to sell.  Our city runs a recycle truck every Wednesday but I've never gotten the plastic tub to put the recycle items in.

I started recycling about 3 years ago for Earth Day and fortunately, continued it.  I recycle mostly plastics.

I stopped recycling as much for a while because we have small bins here and the neighbor's cat would drag the items out of it.  When the neighbor moved I picked it back up. I'm moving in June and I have a recycling bin that looks like a trash can, so that's really convenient.

I was just about to ask if anyone gets paid for it.  I remember researching ways to make money a while ago and saw recycling on the list.  They don't pay for it where I currently live but hopefully when I move I can get paid- every little bit helps : ) I'll still recycle even if they don't pay though.

I do, my garbage service supplies recycle bags, I do paper, plastic, cardboard, glass

I take my cans back to the grocery store because I get .10c a can/bottle

I've been completely forgetting about the Walmart bag recycling bin, thanks! Lately I've been using all the bags as trash bags, but usually I have lots left over.

I do recycle aluminum and also plastic Walmart bags. I also donate all my books and clothing, when I'm done with them.

   I love to recycle but I do not bother with highly contaminated rags. It is not worth the risk!

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.
We recycle...everyone should because it is helping the environment...there is only so much land the trash can fit in...we all need to be very aware of this
