Roseville's way of recycling. (Odd as it is).

In Roseville, we do not have to worry about sorting those aluminum cans, plastic containers or glass bottles. We just throw our recyclables into the regular trash can. The City of Roseville picks it up. Drops it off at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where recyclables are hand sorted from the trash. (I do not want that job!) Trash goes to the landfill and the recyclables are sent to manufacturers to be reused. Easy and convenient. Just one of the things that makes Roseville amazing.

So, really ... the only reason for me to do recycling on my own would be for the money, and as previously mentioned ... it just doesn't seem worth collecting for months, having bags all over the side of the house and garage, waiting in line for over an hour, and dealing with the nasty filth of it all, to just receive $31. Haha. I imagine I would feel differently if the City of Roseville didn't have a great recycling plan in place.

Note to Darcy: I love the idea of a water dispenser or a water purifying system! I'll have to look into that. What kind do you use?
