    We have curb side recycling and organics pickup (although I compost most of it at home) and they will fuck up the recycling for fun or if there is even the slightest amount of residue. I rinse out soda cans :(

      Yeah we have no pickup at all so we have to take it to recycling as an errand. We the people do all the sorting there, so we have a cupboard in the carport with several blue bins and we do a big run on a Saturday usually. It’s close to the village so on the errand route.

      It’s pretty close to a true Transition model, and evolving for the better, so I am pretty proud of it. It’s truly community oriented, with a decently large free library of books and magazines, and decent jobs, and ready for the rest of the world to catch up.

      The true cost of waste is always in our faces, so we wind up pretty careful about consumption.
