Recycling

In continuing our effort to waste less and conserve energy, we have started recycling. As you can imagine, we don't have a city sponsored recycling program as far out as we live (we used to have it provided when we lived in town). But Fayetteville has a very large recycling facility and recycling pick-up is included with the trash service. Well, they also have a drop-off site where you can take your recyclables and drop them off. They recycle aluminum cans, steel cans, cardboard, plastic bottles, newspaper, magazines, chipboard, glass, and printer paper. So we have started sorting out our trash that is recyclable and take it to the drop off site. It has drastically reduced our waste. Click here for some fun facts about recycling,they are very interesting. For instance, 75% of our trash can be recycled and recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours. Anyway, we encourage all of you to start recycling, it isn't hard.
