We like to recycle as much as we can. I've been known to cut a tag off of a new shirt, throw it in the garbage, feel guilty about it, retrieve it from the garbage and then put it in the recycle. Oh, and according to Spencer they are not garbage and recycle, but are gabor and cycle.
The system in our house is that recycle goes into the can in the kitchen. When that is full it gets emptied into the container in the garage. When that is full it gets dumped into the big container outside. When that is full it goes to the curb for pick up. We missed recycle day during the Christmas holidays. We also had a lot more recycling with all the packaging from toys and gifts. It threw us into a recycling tizzy for a couple of weeks. Everything was full, and since pick-up is only once a week there was no place to empty the recycle can. It took us a while to get back on track. This became the norm in the house:
I'm glad we're back to the real normal now. This is just embarassing.

Haha I love that you take pics and blog about this kind of stuff!
What exactly does that word (recycle) mean? Just kidding.
Imagine if the recycle only came every OTHER week?? Cuz that's what goes on here :(

Where I used to live, recycling was only every other week, but here it's every week, unless there's a snowstorm and it gets delayed or it's a snow day and you don't feel like getting out of bed by 8am on your "extra" day off b/c your condo association doesn't want you to put out your bin the night before so then you have a similiar problem b/c you go two or three weeks w/o recycling pick up so you have random boxes filling up your carport. I too am finally back to normal now though.
