In London we were very good at recycling. Before we had door stop recycling, we would walk down to the local bins and put in our paper, plastic, cans etc... Then it got even easier and we could leave all our recycling in a special bag outside our door and it would be picked up by the council and recycled. And while we lived in an apartment and couldn't compost, we used a waste disposal unit and felt good that our organic waste wasn't wrapped up in plastic bags in a dump somewhere. Now we can't seem to recycle anything!
I am told that our new home country is just too small population wise to warrant building facilities here and it is too costly to ship recyclables to a facility. So after training the kids what to throw in the bin and what to recycle, it now all goes into one bag and off to the landfill it goes.
If any one has any tips, suggestions... this is one area where I feel like some sort of progress should be made
