It's a pain but it has been a savings. We recycle everything we even did away with the need for garbage service. It’s a pain but it has been a savings.

Boy, does that make life easier. We've lived places in the past where we had to bring it in ourselves though, so I feel your pain. . .

I'm pretty thrifty usually but sometimes you have to live a little :) Wow Jeremy, you must live in the boonies! Lisa, I think it's great your town has mandatory recycling. Like I said, it's a real pain but it's the least we can do for future generations. The US is so far behind many other developed countries in recycling that it's disgraceful.

They're not patroling or anything. I think they just want to emphasize the importance of it. The other thing I do (when I remember them!) is use cloth grocery bags in lieu of the plastic ones. That still hasn't caught on in my area yet, so I get a few looks. But it actually is catching on elsewhere around the USA and the world. Have a nice Sunday. Go Patriots!

While maybe not as good as recycling, it is better than driving 20+ miles just to get it to the recycler, and at least it isn't taking up valuable space in the landfill. Of course if you live in a subdivision or more populated city, this may not be an option.

Boulevard Wheat- frugal,no. Delicious, yes. Have you seen the recycling episode of Penn and Teller's BullSh*t? If not, you should check it out. Its available on Youtube. Very enlightening.
