To the Editor,
So many changes to my trash routine! I try my best to do a good job recycling, but honestly, there are a few
things I need to do differently now that recycling is collected every other week. If the material isn’t in my bin, it won’t be collected!
As tempting as it is to just toss everything into my weekly trash pickup, I know I need to save that space for the things that truly can’t be composted or recycled.
I now keep a utility knife by my recycling bin so I can cut up those bulky boxes, and I crush plastic containers as much as I can to make more room.
This week, I have a LOT of boxes thanks to my trips to Costco! Luckily, we have a transfer station, so I’ll make a trip there to get rid of the extras—and throw in a few bottles while I’m at it.
Sure, it’s a little inconvenient, but I really think these small changes can make a difference. One box, one bottle, one habit at a time!
