Do you assort trash?

Hi there. Actually, we have different containers, these being "Plastics, Cans, Glass and what not... We just throw our assorted trash in these various bins, then the recycling truck comes around on a monday morning to collect everyones sorted trash for recycling... In new zealand, our town is known as New Zealands 100% Pure... Its really great because the whole town has this very habit, to wipe out waste in landfill, another words zer0 waste...

We don't have a recycling program where we live. We do save aluminum cans though. I try to buy biodegradable things though. But that isn't always possible.

Though that kind of system is not introduced here, we have been doing it like plastic seaparate, glass separte, vegetable left outs separate, non-biodegrdable items separate. It is really redious to do such things. one has to keep 3 to 4 dustbins at home. Somehow we are managing it so far so good.

For this one I don't assort trash, always in lump. But a good discipline to have your mum says and practices.

I don't sort all of my trash, but I do recycle what I can- paper, plastic, glass and aluminum. Everything else goes into the trash. Recycling does seem to reduce the amount of trash a great deal. I also reuse a lot of things, like jars and other containers. Cloth is used for rags, and food is sometimes composted.

well i do. i like to segregate the egradable from non=degradable. i think its important to separate them. so that the deradable will be dump into the land well while the non degradable will go under a machine to recycling and so that it will not harm the environment. well i think we have the problems we are having now in our environment well i think we should seriously take this step to segregate it.
