Had 27 bags of recyclables to sort through today. All were collected since March 16th. I have wanted to do a recycling day for some time now, but every time I planned one the weather would not cooperate.
Just like picking up all of these recyclables, sorting them too, takes time.
The sort and taking the plastics and glass to the recycling center took a little over seven hours.
This was definitely the highest amount of cans I have had on any recycling day on this blog.
In total there were 3,425 recyclable items. 1,669 aluminum cans, 1,455 plastic bottles, 244 glass bottles, 31 plastic milk/tea jugs and 26 plastic oil containers.
This recycling day brings the years total up to 7,950 recyclable items taken out of our environment and disposed of properly. This is in addition to all of the non-recyclables and 62 tires removed from our state parks.
You too can help with taking out the trash! If you get out hiking take a grocery bag with you, give it a second use and fill it with trash while you are out! Every bit helps. You can also help contributing to this project here: Help Fund Taking Out the Trash
