Anyone else have trouble recycling stuff?

While I can't answer for Krabo, I relate to the hiding of stuff, because unfortunately, in my case, the council has actually been known to open people's garbage bags and check for recyclables. They claimed it was "research" or something odd.

Even the staff at my apartment building have admitted to going into people's bags on occasion for some bizarre reason they believe justified it.

It sounds completely crazy but it has happened here where I live.

It's illegal to throw out what can be recycled? Holy crap! That goes way too far in my opinion.

I had a hard time with recycling when I lived in Montana. We didn't have anything for recycling and we had to do our own by hauling it ourselves. We had to haul our own trash too to the dump. If we wanted to recycle, we had to take it somewhere that did recycling but this one place only took trash cans and cardboard and paper so any other boxes went to the trash. But I admit it was out of laziness I didn't recycle.I just didn't make enough recycle stuff to keep it and it would have taken me years to have a trash bag full of pop cans because that was how seldom I drank and you got money for it when you brought them into the folk shop. They weigh it and calculate it and give you money. I did recycling in high school for voc rehab and it was a pain taking all that paper to the folkshop and the bags were heavy and I just didn't want to deal with it again so I tossed paper away at home. Now that place has shut down also I don't know what that area does now for recycling. One shut down in my hometown too and then that one.

Where I live now, recycling is easy. They come every week and our recycling bin always gets full within a day or two after the pick up I am thinking we need another recycle bin.But our trash service comes every other week so your area has it backwards it sounds like. But out in public, places don't always have things for recycling so things go straight to the trash and homeless people will dig through them for glass or pop cans. But I am too lazy to carry a pop can everywhere with me or a bottle or a glass bottle or any sort of paper or cardboard so I will toss it in the nearest trash. At home I will recycle. Any place that has it, I will do.
