I’ve been recycling for a little more than 24 hours. I find myself scrutinizing EVERY single piece of trash before I throw it away. It’s a little bit exciting when I can put the item in one of the bins instead of the trash can. When I’m not sure, I put it in the bin anyway. I assume at some point, someone at the recycle center will yell at me for stuff that’s not supposed to be recycled — and that will be a learning experience for me.
Things I’m not sure about:
• Styrofoam package trays for meats
• Plastic frozen veggie bags
• Plastic sandwich bags and freezer bags
• Must I remove the plastic windows from junk mail envelopes?
• Must I remove labels from cans and bottles?
And that raises a whole new issue: Packaging! But I’ll save that topic for another day.
So far so good, but I suspect this is going to grow old real fast.
