You're lucky you live in an area that provides recycling pickup as an
option. For some stupid reason the residents of Dataw protested loudly
when the [only available] trash pickup service wanted to institute
recycling. I don't know why; I guess they didn't want to have to sort
things and buy more bins.

I *could* collect these items and drive stuff to the so-called recycle
center (I call it a dump). However, I don't use enough cans, plastic
bottles, or paper to make it worthwhile in terms of gas mileage.

Woo hoo! Three different meals. Does anyone in your house ever sit
down and eat the same thing for dinner? Don't answer; that was a
rhetorical question.
