I took my recyclables out to the curb today—for the first time this year! 💪
Because there’s no guarantee my recyclables will actually get recycled, I avoid filling up my bin as much as possible. I go to refill stores to buy detergents, soaps, oils, vinegar and wine, which saves lots of glass and plastic containers. And I buy everything I can secondhand, which has the added advantage of coming package-free 👍
Today, my blue bin was full of food cans, soy milk cartons, cardboard and paper, with some unavoidable plastic 😬 Maybe someday I’ll be able to fit a year’s worth of recyclables in one bin! 💚
