irecycle

Too bad recycling isn't as easy as running some type of ipod, iphone, imac, or ishootmyselfinthefoot. I can't figure this dumb thing out! Every piece of garbage I come across has me wondering, and in some type of a panic as to whether or not it's recycleable. Aghghg....it's agonizing. I've resorted to just asking Dan about each and every item until he finally told me that even toilet paper should be recycled. End of conversation. I no longer ask.........him anyway. We called city garbage for a tutorial or an inservice, but they only sent us a lousy sticker! A sticker that yes, tells me glass/plastics, aluminum and tin, and paper products, BUT keep your junk mail and newspapers seperate. Where do those go then? I think I would have even appreciated some stereo type instructions to get us through this. Do we shred every single piece of paper? Do you recycle receipts? As you can see this is quite the paralyzing ordeal albeit I do feel good about the fact that we are recycling and doing something good. If anyone needs me though, I'll be sorting my new Minnesota garbage in our garage or digging out a spot in our backyard for our new compost site.
