While this makes me sad, it is no reason not to recycle. I just hope the other residents in my town doe not feel the same way and are landfill hogs, not taking anything "down the road" to be re-used and recycled. In fact- we recycle everything! Batteries, motor oil, plastic bags, metal, paper, glass, plastics, and even used clothes and toys, and electronics.
Since we do recycle so much, and our house is kinda tight on space, I keep our recycled things in the garage. So quite a few times a day, I have to walk out there, after digging things out of the trash that the kids don't know to recycle and separate it out. Now that I have this nifty contraption, I no longer have to do that. The trash can comes apart into two pieces, so even though I have many cans outside for different items, I really only daily (more so than the other recyclables) have paper & plastic to put out. rarely ever- glass and metals. Since this can is black, like my own other trash can, they match perfectly side by side, so I don't mind so much anymore!
