Finally! I Found the Recycling Center!

Congrats on your recycling efforts. Yes we have many in our area, but sort of specialty wise. So we have to go to several, you know to sort, as some specifically only take aluminum, while others will take the cardboards. We do take the items once a month, although many people in my area just dumped them in the garbage bins. Ugh.. leaving no room for the actual garbage. Lazy because there are so many in our areas.

I only recycle old book, newspaper and unused paper. I prefer to send to recycle center after those things get annoying me.

It's part of our regular garbage pick up so I don't have to go anywhere. I like that we have it set up that way. Though I wish we had recycling carts we I have a small home and no garage so it's a pain to find somewhere to store it when the winter winds come barreling thru as then it blows everything all over the place.

we are very lucky. they pick ours up in a blue can, curbside just like the garbage, except its on a different day and the garbage can is black. we do kind of pay for it, as its in with our water bill. but we get extra points if we join the recycle bank online like i did. and get free stuff. like i just got my pogo club paid for the year, saved 40 bucks and we've gotten Esquire, cosmopolitan, good housekeeping, and country living magazine for a year free!! they have tons of stuff you can get free. sorry you have to run yours over there but do you not get something back? some places pay. or they used to

Where I live, on trash days, they pick up recycles in one can, trash in another, and green waste in the third. But we still collect cans in another bucket so we can get redemption.

Hi macdingolinger Come to think of it, I really don't know were our recycling center is, or if we have one, now! Now that the subject has come up *** I am going to have to find out. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I can understand why a recycling center is very helpful and useful for you and your family. I know when I was taking care of my mom, I always had boxes and things which can add up in a hurry and by the time I got rid of them, I had another load. Take care and have a wonderful evening! Snow

Yes, they're everywhere here. Recycling pays big money over here. Cans, bottles (glass & plastic), cardboard boxed drinks all pay ten cents each in South Australia. Scrap metal prices have gone up considerably too. Top copper grades pay at over six dollars a kilogram. Aluminium, plastic coated wire, brass all pay well too. I used to make a $200 profit per month doing this.

I used to have a recycle center around here, but it got closed down several months ago... and I have to admit that I didn't recycle anything since. My conscience is bothering me, but I really don't want to walk half an hour with garbage bags to take things to a recycling center. Last week I registered for a service which is supposed to come to your house and pick up stuff that can be recycled free of charge... I haven't heard from them back, but I hope they're for real and will show up eventually.
