Unsure as to how your curb-side city recycling program works? What they do and do not accept vary from city to city… I was surprised to see that San Leandro accepts plastics with the number 1 to 7! I’m surprised because Davis only accepts plastics with #1 and #2… I guess because Davis has an open recycling facility where you can drop off the other types of plastic. SL also accepts juice boxes/milk cartons for recycling, where as Davis doesn’t.
I think one of the best ideas ever is to research online (it’s really, really quick and easy!) to see how your curb-side recycling/garbage pick-up works. Here’s some info on San Leandro’s recycling/garbage/compost program!

PS. Tracy… I’m gonna call you out… recycle your shampoo/conditioner bottles!!!!! Everytime I’m home, I see a new bottle in the bathroom garbage can… >=O
I want to do this! Spend a day in a huge, beautiful park in San Francisco and learn about something I’m interested in! I’ll have to see if I can make it… :D
I want this!!! A ceramic compost bucket that has an air filter in the lid so it doesn’t smell!
I want I want I want…. =)

Also check these out!!! I’m sooo tempted… but I already have perfectly functioning containers for my recyclables…
Now that I think about it… I don’t really have much plastic/glass to recycle. Most of my items to recycle are paper; I really need to start reducing that too.
