Go Green
We live in an area that does not have recycling pick up. Our county offers free recycle centers in multiple places. They will take house hold trash too. If you bring recycling, then each trash bag is only $0.25. But if you don't recycle, then it is $1.00 a bag. We save over $20 a month by utilizing this service and not paying for trash collection. (Trash collection is by private services.) I was amazed how much less trash we had when we started recycling.

We live in a city that provides recycling containers that are picked up separate from the regular trash. What do people do who live in rural areas if they want to recycle? I suppose for them it is easier to at least compost vegetable peels, etc. for gardens. We don't even have room for a garden here in the city.

It took me a few weeks but once I got rolling with an at-home recycling plan I found it became more than a habit -- it's an obsession. My recycling bin now has more in it at the end of the week than the trash bin does.
