Recycling Solution

Getting use to the recycling system around here has taken me some time.  With the 3 different garbage cans and what can go in each.  What you have to clean before you throw it away and so on . . . lots of details!  I shared the list here, that the waste processing people give us with all the do’s and don’ts.  Problem for us is we only have 1 trash can and we technically needed 3 to sort it all out.  So with no way to differentiate in the house I was constantly going outside or piling it up on the counters, gross!  So here was my solution!  Recycling garbage cans cost $$$ and I didn’t want to spend that much on a trash can so I found this bin at Ikea and bought 2 of em.  Then using my circut I cut the recycling symbols out in their corresponding colors and Wa-La!  Now we can easily sort what goes where without having to do all the legwork!  A funny recycling clip below from Portlandia, thanks to Brianne for sharing this!
