We recycle everything--glass, plastic, cardboard, paper, aluminum/metal, batteries, etc. We use the clear plastic bags for recycling goods and black plastic bags for trash as was suggested in our "welcome to TV" packet. I have noticed that very few of our neighbors use the two different color bag system so I am not sure if they are recycling or not.
We also compost our kitchen scraps (only vegetable matter, coffee grounds/filters, egg shells) and yard clippings.
Between recycling and composting we only produce a tiny amount of actual trash. It always makes me feel good on Tuesdays to put out two or three full recycle bags and only a tiny trash bag.
