Global Warming Aside ( Recycle )

[Dphins4me]

  There appears to be a lot of people here who are truly concerned with Global Warming.

How many actually take the time to get off their backsides & recycle everything they can?  Be honest here.

Glass, tin, Aluminum, paper, cardboard, plastic?

I tend to not believe in man made global warming.  However, I do take the time a couple of time a week to recycle most of my garbage.  A family of 4 in my house generates about 1 bag of trash a week.  The rest makes it down to a recycling center on my own effort.  No one comes by my house to pick it up.

So, I feel I'm doing what needs to be done to help the plant ( Landfills )

I recycle everything.

We have recycling bins serviced by the city. They come every Friday.

I recycle everything I can (and maybe even some stuff I can't) and I encourage my entire community to do the same.  My condo board is on a huge effort to reduce trash and increase recycling.

I recycle everything my community picks up for recycling...aluminum, plastic and glass.

[Spider-Dan]

I recycle aluminum, paper, and cardboard.

That being said, I don't think that recycling has much of an impact on global warming; the infrastructure used to facilitate recycling requires energy, just like the original manufacturing process.  The impact is more on landfills and natural resource conservation.

I recycle beer.

I was really big into recycling, but then my neighbors were unable / unwilling to use the bins properly, and my condo association canceled the program.  Now, we do not, and it kills me.

are you kidding?  This is so ridiculous.

Typically recycling programs are run by the city.  Are you sure that the truck isn't still coming around?

Oh, I'm sure.

My condo is managed by a bunch of weasels.

I recycle my styrofoam when I buy things,and when I get a bunch of boxes...Unfortunately, I have to take it somewhere to have it recycled....We don't have curbside pick up....I also take old T.Vs & Monitors and such to the recycler....

Never seen a place to do Styrofoam around here..

Can old batteries be recycled? 

I'd like to recycle everything possible but our service is somewhat selective.  For example, seems like every piece of plastic has the recycling symbol on it, but they only accept those with certain numbers.

In certain parts of Europe you get fined if you don't recycle properly. 

[Guru-In-Vegas]

I recycle.  I'm kind of nazi about it too.

yes, old batteries can be recycled,it's a matter of finding the right place to take them....

Most UPS stores might take them,but you need to call first,they mainly only take packing peanuts....

I have a place like 500 yards from my house..computer recycling center,that takes just about everything....(except yardwaste and stuff like that)
