Looking for place to take plastic drink bottles

[Pairadocs]

For recycling IN THE VILLAGES between SS and Lake Sumter Landing, not interested in driving to places outside the villages just to take bottles to recycle. Publix do not accept them, don't see any bins near vending machines either ? ?

Why. We do not recycle in The Villages.

We recycle our stuff into energy, better than landfills. Put them in your trash.

Plastic is too expensive to recycle. Most of it is cleaned and banked for the future, when the price to recycle comes down. It’s much better to burn for energy

They burn it

Better results. Stop buying Plastic, use a filter system.

How do I filter detergent bottles, soda bottles, shampoo bottles, milk bottles, ketchup bottles and all those other bottles? I don't have any water bottles as I am fine with tap water.

To each their own. Right now plastic apparently is too cheap to re-cycle except to burn for energy. You would think there would be “odors” from the burning. Does anyone smell anything down south around east 470?

Glass is the same, sand is so cheap, it’s easier/cheaper to make glass bottles than recycle them.

Exactly. Search Villages sanitation and you can read what they do with the trash.

Our Milk, detergent, shampoo, doesn’t come in plastic bottles. No soda, ketchup, or processed food groups.

Just takes a few different choices to convert to far less plastic.

Our entire trash fits in a paper bag from the grocery.

Sounds good but first time I drop a glass milk container think how good plastic can be

Unless I can bring raw milk from the farm, you won’t find it in our house. I can’t tolerate the taste, smell, of homogenized milk. Until to my 50’s we just went out to the farm pulled tap on milk vat and filled bottle.

However I have more than once dropped the glass milk bottle, and never had one even crack. Their quart design and thickness helps prevent breakage.

But if it lands on your foot, it hurts. The cream bottle is so cute, I hate to return sometimes, after you let the cream rise from the big bottle and pour off.

Interesting. This city boy has probably never tasted raw milk. Had no idea the process of homogenizing would change the taste of milk.

Unless you grew up with Dairy Farming, you would have no idea how much junk is in your milk. Not only the smell and taste, store bought is like water for me, no depth. When we are at the farm, I would walk out at 0430 and tap a pitcher of milk from the cooling Vats. Pour into sterile bottles and put in the fridge. The cream rises to the top, and you pour off. If you use a tablespoon of cream in your coffee a 1/8 teaspoon is more than enough.

Today you can’t just buy raw, unless they know you personally, or have documented papers from a farm, as it could cause stomach distress, for city folk. Kind of like sushi, some have zero issues, others have severe intestinal distress. Oldest is severe lactose intolerant, but can drink raw and never has an issue

Raw has a creamy texture, because not all of the cream is removed. Like honey taste can vary, depending on feed and grass that’s consumed.

Who would have thought. Thanks for the info.

On Mother’s Day you can get a mail truck and have Kramer and Newman drive them to Michigan for recycling. ;)

I started using detergent sheets and shampoo bars because I was traveling and didn’t want to use a check on bag for liquids. Now I use them every day, but I agree with you. I wish there was a place to do plastic bottles.

If you are a resident of Lake County you can take them to the recycle center off of Rolling Acres.

I refuse to buy laundry detergent in plastic bottles. Just look at all the plastic in the laundry aisle. All that will wind up in landfill.

They don't take bottles only plastic bags.

I thought trash was shipped to Georgia?

Wouldn’t any bottle that’s not burned end up in landfills?

Recycling plastic bottles is a fool's errand today. Mist cannot be recycled. Makes more sense to incinerate to produce energy. Otherwise plastic languishes in the landfill.
