How is recycling in your city/area?
Here in Regina it's pretty sad. You have to pay $30 a month for Blue Bins to come pick up, OR you can drive your stuff all over hither and yon to recycle it. Often it is a waste of time and money on gas to do the proper recycling...if we have the time to do it!
DH has put his foot down about recycling anything other than paper and computers. I make sure we get old clothes to the Salvation Army. DH isn't fond of even that run. So I make sure I bundle it with other errands.
In the end I just try to recycle as much "in house" as I can. This morning I just pulled a box out of the recycle pile to store my homemade candles in. What ways do you 'in house' recycle?
I find communities in Canada really differ in how they handle recycling. We used to live in a community north of Calgary - Airdrie. And they have a great recycling situation there! You go to one location and recycle everything at once. Okotoks has that too. I'm wondering why these larger centres don't do that. It would so much easier.
