Recycling Motivation

We have talked about joining Waste Management’s recycling program since they took over the trash collection contract for our town. I just never got around to calling them to have a cart delivered to our house. A little over a month ago, it was brought up again. Then, we got notified that the town would be switching to Republic Services as of March. The flyer said that we would be getting the same carts from them that would be collected. It also said that if we wanted more or less than we had, we would need to wait until after March 1. To our surprise, we had a recycle bin delivered as well as a trash bin.

Now, we have mo excuse. All of those Amazon boxes and   soda boxes can now be sent for recycling. We even bought a bin to put next to out trash can inside and to the kids to rinse out cans and glass bottles. So far, it seems to be a natural transition. It’s even making me want to get back to get back to composting.
