Recycling - Isn't Everything Able To Be Recycled?

Recycling is something I do and believe in. We have so much to recycle that we had to upgrade from the tiny bin provided by the garbage company to a full blown roll away garbage can. I think I can do more.

I pay attention to what I'm throwing away and began to notice just about everything I put in the trash could be recycled. How is that? Well, you can recycle paper, glass, metal, and plastic, so think about it, other than food, what isn't made of one of those four things. Yea I know there are some specific things recycling doesn't want, which baffles me if it isn't good enough to recycle why the hell do we want it buried in a land fill, that's a topic for another day, but in general most everyday things are one of those four materials. So why don't I just recycle everything? Mainly it is because I keep my small recycling bin outside my back kitchen door, fill it up and dump into the roll away can and I'm only comfortable tossing in the bin the things that won't attract varmints. Yet we had a opossum in it the other night. So I don't put in those papers, plastic and some open cans that I don't feel like taking the time to clean before I throw them away.

Then it got me thinking of how much more motivated I'd be or how you could motivate people to recycle if you had to store or bury all your own garbage in your yard, except that which you gave to recycling? How much more recycling would you do? In my case everything.

Here is a good question for anyone in the recycling business. Why does it request on the recycling bin to only put clean things? Or even broader, how is it that there is not a big machine that could shake out the trash that is not desired, which I contend is very little, and the organic stuff, food waste, wouldn't it just burn off when the plastic, paper, wood, glass or metal are processed? So in general why doesn't all of our garbage just get labeled recycling?

One Girl Walking 2185 Miles in 111 Days, ALONE

hiker alone accept the sounds of the dark woods. Boon, Cartoons, cartoonist for hire, boondawgoggle, doodles, One Guy Drawing It is without a doubt my long held aspiration to thru hike the AT (Appalachian Trail). I wanted to share this one Thru Hiker's Blog. This young lady, trail name Wired, just finished her 2185 mile hike yesterday after 111 days on the trail. She updated a blog daily with wit, candor, and pictures sharing her day to day trials, tribulations (like her monthly periods) and triumphs along with the characters and players that make an AT thru hike an unique experience. Yesterday's completion of the AT makes her a triple crown long hiker having previously completed the CDT (Continental Divide Trail) and PCT (Pacific Coast Trail). I encourage you to start at Day One and make reading her blog the daily start to your day for the next 111 days.

Departure

My mother reached down, straightened my tie and told me to go on outside and wait by the car. My sister soon joined me, dressed in a typical 1970’s plaid dress, knee socks and black buckle shoes. The sun had just started to rise on this late summer day in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Me being all of six years old and my four year old sister, dressed to the nines standing in the driveway next to the family’s light blue Volkswagen Beetle must have been a sight of curiosity for the neighbor out walking his dog before leaving for work. He must have known, although we were in our Sunday best, church was not our destination. Soon our mother appeared dressed in the latest seasonal fashion and in keeping with mine and my sister’s attire. She pushed the storm door open and stepped to the side of the small concrete stoop to hold the door open for our father to emerge. He was in a brownish suit with a perfectly coordinated tie that was classic seventies, ironing boa...
