Doty's Second Bin Has Come!!!


OK. For those of you who have been hard core recycling for a while, and who have been using the current bin with the cut out holes, you know how big this is. Can I get a "Woo Hoo?"

If you haven't already spotted and used the new bin that Doty so kindly provided, then you need to get down to the tracks and test it out pronto. You'll think you are in recycling heaven when you swing open the doors and just let those plastics fly! Truly, very lovely.

I apologize for my tardiness on this late breaking event. I was trying to get the perfect picture to reflect how big a deal this is for our community. I wanted someone to be airborne. Well, things did not work out, and then that someone was going to have to be me. After several attempts at catching "airborne" with our camera, the battery went dead. See below my attempts to convey our great joy over this improvement of our recycling facilities here in Greenville. I'm still going to need an airborne shot before I can put this phase of progress to rest.

Enjoy the bin!!!!!!!!!

Hi Linda....LOVE your blog! My fam and I are tryin to get green...we have been saving plastics and cardboards to start. Well today I thought I would load up and venture to the new recycling bins for my first time ever (I was pretty excited)! But when I arrived I was really confused...this is the recycling bins??? There were trash bags of stuff (mainly plastics, but some newspapers) laying on both sides of the bins...people weren't putting the stuff in. Why not? Because the holes were too small ? What happened to the doors? Was I at the wrong place, it was by the FS...I'm so confused, lol. I took pictures on my phone because I was so upset with what I found. I even found RX bottles with labels that had the name of the owner on them (a part of me wanted to call that person). So plz help me out here...do people do that all the time? I noticed on the bins a handwritten messages that stated something like "Please do not leave anything on the ground it will end up in the landfills". What is the point of people taking their recyclables to the bin and then leaving them on the ground? Sorry about the rambling! Can you help me understand this mess? =?
