We seem to have more in the recycling bin than we do in the trash these days
I now am setting my goals high, when it comes to the trash, want to have my bin filled at least for 75%. Usually, it would last me for two months, where my back neighbours have two bins, and that is not enough to last them for two weeks.
Where I live now, we do not separate that much, for recycling. We've got a green bin, for all that is decomposable, then there is separate collecting of glass and paper and plastic. There is direct recycling, that goes to the thrift shop, they take all electrical appliances too. And, then there are the remnants.
Where I lived before, cans were collected separately too, and the place I lived before that, there was a even a special option for aluminum caps and wrappings.
