Our area has introduced recycling very slowly. When we moved here, about 15 years ago, they had a central area you could take some limited recyclables to and drop them off. A local reporter happened to follow the truck taking the recyclable along the road and watched them dump the whole thing into the landfill. After that all recycling in the area ceased. It was a bummer. Nothing was done for about 12 more years until they started curbside recycling where you put EVERYTHING into the the same bin. Now it is completely easy. Our recycle bin fills up a twice the rate of our old trash bin. We have not been able to get a second bin and really need one as the pick up is only every other week. Anyway I feel a lot better about the whole thing as when we had guests they would always ask, "Do you recycle?", as the went to throw the can or bottle in the trash. I no longer have to make excuses.

All of this goes into the bin:

All paper products
All forms of plastic
All glass
All metal
Batteries
Anything you don't want in a landfill.
