But is now a necessity that we stop dumping into the landfills and find more ways that motivate people for recycling.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812973607679817329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453378132800028314.post-58463067052167280762010-09-28T00:55:06.535-07:002010-09-28T00:55:06.535-07:00Thanks for all the comments, sorry i havent wrote ...Thanks for all the comments, sorry i havent wrote a post in a long time, but i will be posting something new very soon.<br /><br />THE GNOMEThe Green Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574969125743882603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453378132800028314.post-71911855464888965352010-02-07T15:27:45.879-08:002010-02-07T15:27:45.879-08:00I am from Adelaide South Australia, and our recycl...I am from Adelaide South Australia, and our recycling bin is larger than the rubbish bin, and has been that way for a reasonable time.

It is all about education and it really does come from the top down. In Las Vegas and Henderson we too only have the three little recycling bins every two weeks and general trash TWICE a week. In Sydney, Australia the program is reversed. Residence are given very small trash bins and large recycling bins, forcing them to act responsibly.<br />Thanks for your post... keep on with educating!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00157326810741077614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453378132800028314.post-54981399748766908542009-12-18T10:36:10.253-08:002009-12-18T10:36:10.253-08:00it is not free for us to recycle in tucson, but my...it is not free for us to recycle in tucson, but my family still does it. our entire neighborhood does. in fact, i feel incredibly guilty if i forget. my husband finds it difficult to remember what is recyclable because in tucson there is a strict list of what we can include in our recycle bins. i would definitely recycle more if that were available to us. i think just making others aware of it is a really good start at increasing the numbers. thank you for your blog and starting another conversation about this issue!laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186272750458120517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453378132800028314.post-61231009848131048682009-12-07T23:06:58.795-08:002009-12-07T23:06:58.795-08:00YES!!! Please recycle. In the Seattle area we are ...YES!!! Please recycle. In the Seattle area we are lucky enough to have a great recycling program. We only put out one small bag of garbage a week, not even filing our can - the rest goes into recycle (mixed glass/paper), or yard waste (including COMPOST/food waste!). We can put out unlimited recycling even if its too big for our giant can they pick up every other week. I think if they offer recycling, you should get charged more depending on how much trash you put out. Our friends in Reno could put out SEVEN bags of trash a week for the same price. SEVEN!!!!! And gorgeous places like Whitefish, MT don't offer curbside recycling (too remote, too expensive?), but it pains me to throw away a cereal box when I visit. Sometimes we've been known to pack our recyclables out if we're on a road trip, and bring them back home! The recycling issue is an important one to me!!! :)Winkydinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784123352155918638noreply@blogger.com
