the thought has crossed my mind about that......broken jars are tossed into the garbage, but I could manage to break all of them quite easily. Luckily, I don’t buy much food in jars. I use frozen veggies, no laws about the disposal of plastic bags - YET. Just cardboard, glass, cans, magazines, news papers........I have to admit, I hate it and it’s tiring.......there ARE days when I just toss it all in the garbage and hope the garbage man doesn’t want the hassle of turning me in.
The operative word being YET.........
Just cardboard, glass, cans, magazines, news papers.
We don't have laws on any of it, but I do try to do my part :) What cardboard I don't use for patterns goes into to the burn pile, newspapers get used in the woodstove and for making seed starter pots, cans get saved because they fetch 50cents a pound, mags either get passed on to friends or tossed in the burn pile and I generally find other uses for jars either for food storage, seed storage, craft storage, etc........what I don't use gets tossed in the trash.
But I'm not being a greenie over these things, I do them because A) I'm cheap and B) I hate hauling trash to the greenbox and try to minimize the number of trips I have to make. (IOW, I'm lazy)
I think I’d just have to throw my trash on the mayor’s and city council’s lawn every week. Does your garbage man really do a trash inspection on his route?
