I'm Recycling again

I took about a month off from Recycling because I was so busy, even though I felt really guilty about it.....but now I'm on a roll again.  Kate, my daughter, keeps me motivated to continue and I feel good when I do.  Here' some of the things I recycle.  Empty plastic egg cartons, plastic cups from Fast food places, pill containers, plastic lids, wrappers from food, plastic containers that can't go in the regular recycling, etc.  I save them and then bring them to my daughter who separates them and sends them into Terracycle and they in turn pay cash for some things.  Thanks to Kate's help....I don't have to throw these things away.
There's also a place that will take all of your styrofoam too.....I'll get you the info next time.  Happy recycling!

  1. Cool! Here's a new goal for you: See how many plastic or styrofoam cups you can reduce in a month. Refuse them! Try to bring your own reusable cup whenever you can (which I know you already do) and when you can't, see if you can wait until you arrive at your destination to drink. It's a tough challenge! How many times do I drive right past McD's thinking of their delicious sweet tea? But I've been passing it by! The planet and my waistline are happier! :)

  2. Do you think McD would get upset if I handed them my reuseable cup to fill up?
