This morning I walked with a small bag of recycling to the grocery about a quarter mile away where for years now I've been taking bottles and cans, metal, plastic, and glass. There had been rumors that there was too much trouble associated with it and that the store wasn't keeping it. Well, 99.9 percent of the citizens who used this center, in a heavily populated area, were no trouble. There are many huge apartment buildings near it that do not have recycling. And now the closest recycling center is an easy two miles away, too far for the trek that me and my dog made at least twice a month. We'd go into the store and cash out, then to the dog food store to buy her treats.
So I've decided that I will no longer recycle because this is just too far, and too much time, BUT I AM NO LONGER BUYING ANY BOTTLED OR CANNED BEVERAGES THAT CANNOT BE RECYCLED from that store, and overall my purchasing of these will be limited to situations in which I need a beverage out somewhere, when there is no water fountain and need fluid.
