It took awhile before we stopped feeling guilty just throwing everything into trash bags here. We love it! We especially love not seeing large trash and recycle bins all over the street on trash days. Plus some that were always stored on driveways by the garage door despite being against the CC&Rs that were rarely enforced.
This is Florida. They don't much care about recycling. I lived in California and we had a trash bin and a recycle bin. When I first moved here, they took recycling but now everything is incinerated. I take my recycling to the center on Jacson Rd. That is for Lake County. Not sure about Sumter.
