Recycling, Solved!


At least for now. If you read about when I asked help with some solutions to our recycling dilemma, then you might be interested in what I decided to do...

I really appreciated everyone's input and the ideas that were shared. They helped me realized the options and inspired me to come up with a solution that worked for us.

I decided that for now, my husband was only going to "allow" :) me to continue recycling if it was a small container and totally out of the way. So here's my temporary, rather primitive, fix: A brown bag in the garage, right by the door that leads to the kitchen. It is in some dead space under the shoe rack and in between the steps and the wall so it is not in anyone's way. (We used to have a plastic trash can here, but it cracked and broke. I think that sort of container might work well for the recycling, too.) I am not sorting anything. When the bag is full, I know that I have to make a trip to the recycling center or it gets put out with the trash. Simple as that. Even if that means making a trip once a week.

We'll see how long it lasts. I'm not sure if my husband has noticed what I've done, yet...

I have a suggestion for you! If your husband doesn't want to see more than one bag in the way, when the bag is full, just put it in the trunk of your car and put a new bag out to fill up again. When a few bags are filled up, make one trip to the recycling center and save time and gas. Good luck!
