Our recycling bins are overflowing...again. My downstairs neighbor is the recycling "captain". And as the recycling captain, he's responsible for rolling our bins out to the curb every 2 weeks. But more often than not, he forgets. Hence, bi-weekly turns in to monthly, and our bins begin to vomit recycling. This is especially annoying if you're trying to empty your personal bin in to one of the larger, vomiting bins. Add a dash of wind and you end up with a dangerous, unpredictable tsunami of glass, cardboard and plastic. Not fun.
But despite these minor annoyances, it's good to know that my building mates are eco-conscious, avid recyclers. Yes, recycling tsunamis can be a drag, but it's still much better than seeing an overflowing trash bin.

ReplyDeletei'm forever keeping things around to reuse, and still we recycle more than anyone on our street. my suggestion to the city is that the recycling bins should be larger than the trash bins & they should take more plastic!
recycle: Thank you for writing about this. Recycling is really important so we'd be able to conserve our natural resources. Something else that you might find interesting is this video I saw on the GreenopolisTV YouTube channel. It's a new video about a "fling" or recyclable plastic trash bin.
