How Texas Made Me a Bad Recycler

I was such a good recycler in Berkeley. We recycled everything and painstakingly broke down all of our boxes and tied them up with string so the recycling truck would take them. Here it's a different story. We do have curbside recycling but they will only take paper, aluminum and plastic. No glass and no cardboard. Oy! I find myself not buying things at the grocery store if they are packaged in glass in favor of their plastic encased counterparts. And then we have all of our cardboard and glass piling up in the garage until we take it to the recycling center on the other side of town. How often do you think THAT will happen? Right.
