Didn't I hear (Penn & Teller maybe) that recycling is all a big farce, as most of it ends up in the landfill anyways? I heard it on the radio recently, but only caught the end of it. Pretty disheartening if I am right, though.
Our city has us put everything in one bin, but I have seen the recycle guy have to sort it all out before he tosses it in the truck. I always separate everything for him in two bins. At least he gets a break when he comes to my house. Of course, I am anal about stuff like that. Everything has its place! Deanna Schneider wrote: > Hm.
