and I have no idea how having a trash bin and a recycle bin is something that causes you to feel guilty?


1. i dont have the time or energy to sort one piece of trash from the next. why should i?

2. why do i need to carry 2 bins to the curb?

3. if the city wanted to encourage me to recycle, they should have given me a DISCOUNT off my monthly bill to sort the trash for them and then CAD would be the biggest advocate on TD for recyling.

If you refer to normal garbage collection as

I have two bins but just throw everything in the normal bin. You can put anything in the normal bin, they only look in the recycle bin to make sure it only has recyclable stuff.

I'm really glad I live in a place that doesn't require me to be a fricking hillbilly just to take my trash out.

so because i point out i'm offering a service to the city/private recyler for FREE i'm bitching?

i like how you conveniently left off my third point about being happy to recycle if i was rewarded.

as a kid i would walk MILES to find coke bottles i'd get 5 cents for and the rare 32 oz '10 cent' bottle.

incentive me, don't pull some EARTH-first 'its your duty as an earth citizen' shite.

How much does the landfill charge you for each dump?

Also, I'm sure driving through landfills is good for your retread tires.

Yes considering you are not forced to do it.

this kinda shite is why you sound like a woman

I have a recycle bin. I do not sort all my trash. The only things I put in the recycle bin are large boxes, milk crates, etc. I'm not sorting everything.

No guilt here.

And it requires no effort or time.

You are bitching about nothing.

y'all know so little about TN.

the recycling center/dump is behind the fire station in the most EXCLUSIVE part of the city. Kirk Herbstreit lives less than a mile from it.

Williamson County Recycling Collection Locations
Residential Convenience Center Information

All convenience and drop-off centers are for Williamson County resident use only.

Residents may bring up to 3 cubic yards (approximately one level pickup truck load) to one center once a day. Residents with more than 3 cubic yards may bring large loads or multiple loads to the landfill at no charge. Proof of residency is required.

Right, it's not like I sit there and go through the bins each week sorting them out. Obvious recyclables like beer/wine bottles, aluminum cans, junk mail, boxes, and plastics find their way to the recycling bin, everything else ends up in the trash.

Check it out CAD. Here's a pic of where I put my trash twice a week. It takes me all of about 15 seconds to get there.

We have a big rolling bin and a recycle bin from the city. My wife used to harp on my about making sure it was just recyclables in the bin which I just shook my head at. I finally had to show her one time when the garbage came to be collected that they just dump the trash can and then dump the recyclables into the same truck. It told her it was like eating, "it all ends up in the same place in the end."

You know they make garbage trucks with divided off sections. Half the truck could be trash and half can be recycling.

We have a parish tax that pays for trash pickup for everyone in the parish. Just bring it to the end of your drive the evening before your designated day and it gets picked up the next day. This happens once a week.
