West Hartford also has an ambitious recycling program, with blue refuse barrels for homeowners to separate regular trash (green barrels) from recyclables. I do it quite strictly. Florida doesn't have a bottle bill, but Naples has the same blue/green barrel approach. AND, I have my own ceramic Starbucks cup.

I return empty bottles, use recyclable grocery bags, and throw other plastics and aluminums into a curbside Blue Box provided by the town and picked up once a week.

Paper will burn or biodegrade and in the meantime it's great for storing paper and cardboard that you plan to recycle. We don't have curbside recycling here so I have to drive to a transfer point. I do it weekly but wonder about the impact of burning gas to do so!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763547174099448920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-34401276364751657252015-10-14T21:26:17.886-04:002015-10-14T21:26:17.886-04:00I do it by just throwing all my recyclable items i...I do it by just throwing all my recyclable items in my recycle bin, which is a separate container from the regular trash. The recycle bin is green and picked up by a different truck from the one that picks up the trash in the black bin.

It isn't enough to my taste though, I'm sure we could recycle all those little plastic yoghurt pots, not to mention plastic bags (which incidentally will be outlawed next year here...) I wish I was in Germany. There's almost nothing that escapes recycling there.cieldequimperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068412533575986552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-2709554082382732292015-10-14T14:26:51.797-04:002015-10-14T14:26:51.797-04:00We recycle.

We use to have rectangular totes for recycles and three sizes of can type containers, 32, 64 and 96 gal, that had hinged lids for trash. Now we have both in the hinged lid containers. We opted for the 32 gal. for each and find that since there is only two of us and with the container changes we fill the recycle and only end up with two bags at most in the trash container. One driver with a pickup arm on the front of the truck that picks the container up and dumps it in a bin that when its full is lifted up and over the cab and into the body of the truck. Two trucks just a little bit apart...one for trash and one for recyclables. Pretty neat and cost effective. So far the neighborhood is cleaner on windy days as well.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617356024199023401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-84074642035999075952015-10-14T14:03:18.271-04:002015-10-14T14:03:18.271-04:00Our recycling programs are in the kindergarten sta...Our recycling programs are in the kindergarten state.
