Busy morning. Cleaned some house. Took the recyclables and | |
hazardous household/e-waste to the Recycling Center. I | |
usually do this twice a year. The center was quite busy | |
since it was sunny this morning. Now it is overcast with | |
some moisture in the forecast for later this evening. I | |
average around $50US for the recyclables. This round, I got | |
$47US. Not bad. Typically, I go down the street for firewood | |
with the payout, but since my wood pile is still good, there | |
is a surplus of $47US. Since the kids help out some with the | |
recycling, I decided to give each of them $10US and will take | |
the family out to eat later on. Not bad for ca$h 4 tra$h! | |
Here is a pic of the haul pre-payout and the breakdown from | |
the payout. [1][2] | |
Recycling and repurposing has become a regular habit of mine. | |
Unfortunately, sometime it can be a chore and take up too | |
much space or produce too much clutter. I have tried to | |
minimize some of this in the garage by keeping separate bins | |
for the trash we separate. I even set up a pulley system to | |
store our recyclables in the rafters of the garage so it does | |
not take up floor space.[3] Overall, I think the effort and | |
hassle is worth it and I feel like we are doing our part in | |
reducing landfill waste. Unfortunately, I have heard stories | |
where some of the recyclables still end up there. It makes | |
me sad, but there is not much I can do about that. For now, | |
I will keep doing what I can with the recyclables. | |
