    I like the title quote.
    We have different trash cans for compostable stuff (green), non-toxic household garbage (gray), plastic and packing material (yellow), paper (blue) plus community containers and collecting points for glass, toxics, electrical garbage and more.
    And then a large part of all this separated trash will be just mixed and burned or shipped around the world because unecological behavior is unfortunately still cheaper than recycling 😦

      Birgit,
      My dump has bins for most of what you recycle except the compostable stuff. There is also a separate one for cardboard. I save it all here then haul it to the dump. We don’t have trash pick-up unless we pay a private firm.

      I know there is a computer parts dump in Ghana where kids sift through looking for pieces they can sell.
