Granola This!

After reading Bridget's Blog I was inspired to show the world exactly how "at one with nature" we are here at the Kaiser household. As exhibit A, I give you the events of my afternoon:

First, cans were purchased at the Home Depot.
(Though you should go here instead, if you can.)

First can labeled:



Norwood collects glass & aluminium, so this can will go to the curb on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month. We don't have any aluminum, because it's beneath me.

Second can labeled:



As you can see, we partake in more than our fair portion of juices. Up until now the bottles had just been collecting on the back porch, as Norwood does not collect plastic. After emailing the county recycling rep (recycledelco@comcast.net), however, I learned that plastics can be dropped off at the Waste Management on Oak Avenue in Primos. Sweet.

Third Can labeled:



Turns out all of our milk jugs and most of our plastic orange juice containers are type 2 plastics, so they get their own home. Again, these will need to be dropped off at Waste Management.

This leaves cardboard (I'm still trying to figure out if & how it is sub-sorted) and our old friend:



Okay, so we already had a garbage can, but I felt like he needed a name tag too. After all, without him we wouldn't need to have gigantic smelly landfills or new-fangled trash to steam plants. Yay garbage.

Oh,one last thing: don't forget that your plastic shopping bags can be dropped off for recycling at most supermarkets now. (Unless you're already recycling them by using them as trash bags for the wastebasket in your bathroom or something.)

By your powers combined....
