Four Bins for the Recycling

Once again, I'd like to thank Wendy and Krista for their time with this project. It looks like we're getting a decent level of participation, and that's great. There have been a few changes, and we have a few requests.

As you can see in the picture, there are now four bins. This will save us a lot of time separating the four items we are collecting.

In the picture, you can also see some signs requesting that the items be rinsed out, and that no trash is included. The last batch was a little better, but there were still some trash included (napkins, plastic wrappers, hot pockets boxes, plastic packaging) which we had to separate from the recyclable items, and throw away. Also, a lot of the beer bottles and cans are not getting rinsed out which attracts a lot of bugs and causes everything to stick together. Please remember us when you deposit your recycling. It's not pleasant to spend a lot of time pulling trash out, getting sticky from old beer, and having fruit flies flying all in your face.

Thanks again for your participation.
