Getting Green: Recycling #2, The Full Picture

Researching can sometimes take a little effort, but in the long run you will be benefited by it.  You will be able to make better decisions if you know all of the information.  I started by contacting our privately run waste management company.
To get the phone number to the company we use, I looked on one of my bills…  I found there website on the bill too so I decided to check it out.  When I got to the site, I hunted around for a bit before I called, to see if there was anything else I could ask them about.  I found their recycling page and was amazed.
I found out what they will take, not only curbside, but also if we took specific items to their transfer station (they would take these items for free). 
From Home:

• Pete Plastics #1-#7.
  
• Cans
  
• Glass bottles of any kind.
  
• Paper and Cardboard

At their transfer station:

• Furniture-$
  
• Kitchen Appliances-$
  
• Construction Debris-$
  
• Tires-$
  
• Concrete-$
  
• Mattresses-$
  
• Electronics-FREE

I didn’t realize that they recycled electronics!  Most of the things in our out buildings are electronics.  Craziness!  All this time, wasted, not knowing.  I feel really foolish, but motivated too.  But now we can really get all of that stuff out of there!  That really makes me very happy!
If you are someone that has a lot of clutter, don’t be afraid to do some research.  You could find better choices with another waste management company or you might, like me, learn that the company you use has updated its services.  Definitely weigh all of your options, you have nothing to lose but clutter for doing your homework.  If you have further suggestions that might help, or have any comments please leave them.
