I have, like you, the option of driving to the somewhat difficult to access recycling center (in Berkeley, run by the Ecology Center) - there's a single stream program in Oakland where I live. What's wrong with that? The vibrating belt which separates everything out shatters the glass, which then ends up in the ground - repurchasers want to buy glass which is one color, not greyish glass (according to an interview with a recycling company owner in Business Week). I've thought about rotational runs to a drop off site myself for my apartment complex.ArtSparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875996639432864367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195575581530024223.post-6899936693664427022009-04-22T10:04:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:04:00.000-04:00that shirt is cute but i sure do wish your lovely ...that shirt is cute but i sure do wish your lovely trees would have won. they still won my heart. <br />happy earth day to you friend! i have the same problem at my apt complex. but the city has a recycling drop off basically right behind my house so i bring my recylables there i also gather tons of recyclables from work and drop them off there too. i should go speak to the lady that runs are apts too so more people will think to recycle. :)surfy birdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981414785936055936noreply@blogger.com
