A Good Question

In case anyone besides Holly reads this blog yet, Holly posted a good comment under 'P.S.':

"Tell me about how you do your recycling, please! I really want us to start, but I have no idea how to go about it. Do you have local recycling pickup? I saw your recycling bin so I know how you sort. BUT. Give me more details on how it's working for you."

So for us it's pretty easy because we have recycling bins outside our apartment. The pictures on the lid of our recycling can are the items we can and cannot recycle in the blue bins outside. We went to a convention at the library and they gave us a pamphlet and we used it thus :) We can't recycle glass in our bins but we are saving our glass and looking into where to recycle glass.

I would recommend Googling your city + recycling. There you can find all the info you need on how to get your own blue recycling bin, or at least know where to take it. This is what Salt Lake City's page claims (http://www.slcgov.com/slcgreen/recycle/curbside.htm):

"Salt Lake City contracts with Allied Waste to collect recyclables from an estimated 45,000 residential homes, and 1,100 small businesses and multi-family complexes every day, five days per week. An average of 900 tons of material are recycled each month."

We'll have to take our glass somewhere to recycle, but it's worth the effort because it feels really good to do just a little bit better and make this world a bit better for the next generation!
