One time the recycling bin got tossed out into the street when they emptied it and it got run over and split into uselessness.While a replacement was quickly delivered, it took over a month for them to realize that the busted recycling bin needed to be recycled. They just left it setting by the new one.
It was so hard not to laugh when my 4 year old layed into my 42 year old roommate for throwing a recyclable into the garbage… 3 years later, the young man volunteers time on his weekends to clean up his school yard. Not a school project, he just came up with on his own it needed to be done.
I roll my eyes when somebody glares at me for putting (say) a used kleenex in the trash instead of the composting, or not putting a dead ball point pen in the recycling, but hey, I’m coming up on 50 years old. More and more, the question of “What should I do with this?” is becoming my default, but I’ll never be perfect. I recycle more than the generation before me, and the generation after me recycles more than I do.

I’m with you! We have 3 dogs, 2 horses, 4 rabbits, and about 100 squirrels. I can’t think of anything that goes in the trash anymore.

Maybe the tosser believed Penn & Teller’s “B.S.” claim that almost nothing is worth recycling.
