Answer 10

Answer 11

I live in  Toronto and almost everyone recycles.   We just got these huge new bins on wheels and we got the largest size possible and find we often fill it.   At the end of the week, we have way more recycling than garbage now.

Went to visit friends in Atlanta and it was almost a total culture shock to see how little recycling there is.  Its really no big deal here now... everyone just does it.

Answer 12

Most recycle without realizing it these days.

That's because most garbage trucks take the refuse to a recycling plant where machines do all the recycling work.

Answer 13

I do, and I think everybody should. Recycling saves the planet. My family has two recycling bins, and by the end of the week they are overflowing! If we didn't recycle, all that would be going in the trash. Did you know the average american produces about 4 pounds of garbage a day? We recycle so much that at the end of the week, we only have one small plastic grocery bag of garbage from the 4 of us!
