I'm interested in what people are actually doing re: recycling. Here, in Wisconsin, we have mandatory recycling of paper, plastics and glass. Our local town makes it easy for us. Each house has a plastc bin, laik a clothes hamper, with its number on it. and all glass and plaastic must be put in it. It's nice to wash them first and remove labels but not necessary. All paper, cardboard, newspaper, junk mail, cerreal boxes are put separately. Most people use grocery bags.
All other trash is placed seperately by the curb. If the garbagemen see recycles in your garbage, they issue you a citation and won't pick it up until you remove them. So basically only soiled paper gets put in the garbage. Our personal pickup is every Monday. Quite easy since no sorting.
My questionis: what are other places including Hawaii like?
The other time honored recyling here is Garage sales.
