Reply #20: I have trash pick up [View All]

[Ms. Toad]

which I pay for, and unfortunately my state permits trash haulers to use dirty MuRF recycling rather than source separation. Unlike the article, our state doesn't even require separation recyclables into bags - just toss everything into trash bags all mingled together and the worker bees will sort it out so we don't have to soil our own little fingers.

Although nothing I can do with my trash will save anyone the fun task of sorting through it, I can at least make sure my recyclables actually reach the recycling center by doing my own source separation and carting it myself - so we also drive to the recycling center with our loads of recyclables.
