Recycling means all green waste.....newspaper , weeds , grass clipping , food waste going into my compost bin .

Answer 5

Tons of what? its just another con.  If you reduce what you use and then reuse every bit of what's left then there isnt the need to recycle, which in my opionion is a last resort.
