We have lived many different places across the United States and there have always been recycling options available. Fort Collins, Colorado had by-far the best recycling options out of all of the places that we have lived. Each home received a large full-size recycling bin that all recyclables could be thrown into. Easy-Peasy.
South Florida has had great options for the run-of-the-mill recyclables (paper, cardboard, plastics, glass) and they offer curbside pickup twice a week, which is good considering the recycling bin itself is tiny!
Georgia was the toughest, we lived in a very rural country area so we had sort all of our recyclables and transport them to the closest recycling center – which was a few miles from our home. The recycling center itself was good, offering recycling services for most recyclables.
The reason this came to mind was when we were looking for a new home, we visited an up-scale condominium neighborhood that had all of the bells and whistles – except zero recycling options. When I asked the salesperson about the recycling options, she looked at me as if I were a little crazy and said, “we don’t offer recycling.” My response – “Well, that is a deal breaker!” She thought I was joking and when I told her I wasn’t she looked at me as if I was clinically insane!
I find it very odd that you can have a pizza, newspaper, your mail and many other items delivered directly to your front door, but recycling services may not be available in your local area. It is really a shame, no?
Does your local area offer recycling services?
How good are your the recycling options in your area?
Do you have to lug your own recyclables?
