I went to recycle bins at Just Save Hwy 18 other day and people can't read. They put trash in the cardboard bin, plus burn out old light bulbs. More people need to start learning to recycle!!

I don't recycle much, instead I repurpose items. Paper can be shredded and added to litter boxes to increase the amount of litter mix. I do recycle aluminum but that makes a small amount every month. Unwaxed carboard, food waste, etc can be composted and used in gardens and flower beds.

Unless your garbage bag is made of cardboard, it doesn't belong in the cardboard bin. Empty the bag into the bin.

Feel like one for starting this thread...

I'm sure they could do that if you didn't mind your taxes going up so they could pay someone to sort it all. It is easier and cheaper to have a separate container for each item than have to pay some to dig through it later. I have two cans for garbage one can for plastics and a small one for metal. I put my news papers in a dog food bag and just stack the card board up. When I go to the dump site it is easy as each can goes in a certain place.

My family and I have recently got into this "recycling" swing and the first trip I made to the recycling bins the cardboard bin said "cardboard only". Is that strictly "cardboard only" or can I throw a huge trash bag full of cardboard in it? Also, why can't they make bins that take "mixed items" with an opening big enough to shove a trash bag in with those mixed items?

I felt like an idiot shoving crap in there the other day because the bag wouldn't fit in the opening. I had a lot and it was just time consuming. Had to take cardboard out of my bag and then took my plastics/aluminum/etc. out by hand as well.

I guess I should take smaller loads.
