added a trash/recycling cabinet
We got one of those trash/recycling converters for one of our cabinets beside the kitchen sink. Keep the newspapers and large flat things (flattened cereal boxes, etc) in the pantry and add those to the plastic bag on recycling night. We have twice the recycling stuff as trash.
Yes, I wish it was a reusable bin instead of a clear plastic bag, but better than nothing. Before we added the cabinet, we had an extra trash can in the pantry for the recycled stuff. The cabinet works much better and wasn't that expensive or hard to install.
