Don't you hate it when things that should be simple and 'good' are so freakin' difficult?
With the new house, we came up with a plan for recycling here - save the papers and plastics and whatever we can recycle, compost the food products, and try to limit the 'trash'.
This plan would work great - if we were 'in the city': but since we're in the unincorporated part of SA, we don't get curbside recycling. So we have to load up our car with the recyclables and take them to the center. This is not the easiest task in the world with 2 kids, so we don't do it all the time.
But every time I see the pile of recyclables taking up space in the garage - it pisses me off that I can't have that space, all because the county doesn't do curbside pickup. And it makes it that much easier to throw something that probably can be recycled (plastic straws and the lids to milk cartons) in the trash instead of the overflowing box of plastics.
That reminds me - time to bug Red about dropping off a load of stuff again.
