Recycling Fanatic



I’m A Recycling Fanatic. I’m addicted to recycling. I recycle at home. I recycle at work. I teach people about recycling if they ask me and I promote recycling in my neighborhood. There are three main things that I do that are recycling-centric: home recycling, work recycling, and eco-walking. At home, I’m lucky enough to have free curb-side pick up of my recyclables. I can recycle all glass, metal, paper, and #1 and #2 plastics. The bins are free and they will bring you as many bins as you want from the city offices to use. On average, I throw away only 1 trash bag a week of non-recyclable items. At work, I started a recycle program in my office. I take anything people will give me and some people even bring me their home recyclables to work. To date I have recycled over 18,000 bottles and cans this way, and that is in only 1 1/2 years! I eco-walk. Eco-walking is when you walk through your neighborhoods and pick up all the trash and recyclables you find there. I do this a lot in the spring/summer/fall and my neighbors have even thanked me for it. It truly feeds the spirit.
