Thanks, mulligan, that means it's not a "sin" if you don't recycle. If you put plastic and other recyclable items in with the trash it all gets burned. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. Amen! :)

No, there is still a landfill fee and recyclable items are just that...recyclable. It is irresponsible not to recycle...period.

I wish the recycling zealots would put as much efforts into the bigger problems we face with ISIS

I wonder if the zealots genuflect in the presence of bagged recyclables.

It's NOT okay!
 
[QUOTE=Walter123;930150]So you think there are no cons to recycling? Google it. There are pros and cons to almost everything. Right now in Florida recycling is a choice. I put out bundled newspapers and boxes because that makes sense to me. Plastic bottles placed in a plastic bag doesn't make sense to me.



YOU are the one who said there are cons to recycling; so what are they???

Oh . . . so you think it's okay for plastic bottles to go into a landfill somewhere and get buried and sit there for more years than you are old, besides that it ultimately contaminates the ground water due to the chemicals involved.

People that don't want to do things for the betterment of a community or the world always find a lame reason NOT to do it.

Oh, yeah . . . sure it's okay -- but only in your mind! :22yikes:

Nooooo!!!!! You must use clear plastic bags, not mesh bags! :icon_wink:

I always recycle for the same reason that I always stop for red lights: It's the right thing to do. That's good enough for me.

But the mesh bags can be used over and over ad nauseum.
