We have a big recycling program. At home we just separate the rest between organic (compostable) and nonorganic trash which is what the city requires. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-710828 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:36:52 +0000 rybybeach 710828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a service that comes and picks it up at our curb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-704033 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:16:56 +0000 beachbee 704033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently have to take everything to our recycling drop off. But we're moving soon and they do curbside in our new neighborhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702545 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:34:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 702545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curbside pickup with our trash!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702527 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:30:32 +0000 mrskc 702527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: This is how I wish ours was. recycling every week and garbage every other.</p> <p>We get recycling picked up every other week and it's part of our property taxes I believe. We recycle so much more b/c of it. Our trash hardly gets filled but our recycling is always overflowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702501 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:24:54 +0000 Sammyfab 702501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: our recycling is overflowing after one week! I can only imagine the disaster it'd be after 2 weeks! Garbage pick-up on a biweekly basis makes us so mindful of how much we throw out (versus how much we recycle and what we put in organics)...I really like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702470 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:17:03 +0000 avivoca 702470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: I wish it was like that for us! I could easily go two weeks without the garbage being picked up, but if I miss a week of recycling, I am desperate to get paper bags from the store to contain all the recyclables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702462 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:14:32 +0000 Smurfette 702462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Picked up with the trash every Monday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702447 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:09:33 +0000 Sammyfab 702447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: so does garbage pickup occur every week and recycling is biweekly? If so, it's the opposite for us! Recycling and organics gets picked up weekly and garbage gets picked up every other week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702421 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:02:15 +0000 looch 702421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now we have curbside pickup, but I used to have to separate everything and bring it to a center. I much prefer the curbside pickup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702414 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:59:51 +0000 mrs. bird 702414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our city has special trash bags (they're crappy yellow ones) that you buy to put your trash out each week, i think it's like $7.50 for a roll of 10 small bags. so you pay for anything you can't recycle, but recycling is picked up each week (we don't even have to sort it by paper plastic etc!) and you pay nothing for it! they're not even supposed to pick up bags that have recyclables in them, i'm sure it happens though. i think it's a great program &amp; almost everyone recycles around here =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702384 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:53:14 +0000 MrsTiz 702384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours comes the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702373 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:50:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 702373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Waste Management is our provider.

We don't even have to sort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-702362 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:46:37 +0000 immabeetoo 702362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to drive it to a center. Fortunately its close but I miss where we lived before and it was collected curbside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701912 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:28:52 +0000 pui 701912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home they collect recycling every week (garbage is every 2 weeks), but at work we would have to pay extra for recycling pick up, so we don't recycle there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701904 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:27:10 +0000 2PeasinaPod 701904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a service that comes the same day as the trash pick up! It's great too...they scan the barcode under the lid of our recycling bin and we get credit for the weight of the recycling. They convert to points that we can use to get coupons on local things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701882 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:19:08 +0000 avivoca 701882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a service, and they come separately from the garbage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701844 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:08:28 +0000 meganmp 701844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's against the law NOT to recycle in Seattle- you can get fined if you don't, so our recycle bin is free pickup with our garbage. It's so prevalent, it made me double take at the "if" in your title! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701826 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:03:18 +0000 T-Mom 701826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My old neighborhood had a recycling service run by the city that would come on trash day every other week. However, our new neihborhood uses a private trash service and does not recycle. It is so disappointing to me. There was even a vote on whether to add recycling to our trash service, but I think the cost deterred people and it didn't pass! I take my recycling to my mom's house, since she gets the city service. I have a huge pile in my kitchen at all times, I hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701805 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:56:52 +0000 loveisstrange 701805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours gets picked up in a separate dumpster by our regular trash service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701721 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:43:56 +0000 Bao 701721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Oh same here about bottles/cans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701712 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:43:06 +0000 .twist. 701712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is through the city and picked up on the same day as the trash. It's paid for through our taxes. </p> <p>I love it. We just switched, a year ago?, to this and I think it's great. Before you had to take it to a facility and I didn't do nearly as much recycling then as I do now. Now, hardly anything gets thrown in the trash and we recycle SO MUCH. </p> <p>Our bottles still get taken to a bottle depot because I want the cash! LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701690 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:39:08 +0000 Bao 701690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And it's nice a lot of you get it already paid for, I mean in one way or another ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701686 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:38:29 +0000 BananaPancakes 701686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours gets picked up the same day as trash, and weekly. It's part of our city utility bill (electric, water, trash, etc. ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701685 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:37:33 +0000 Bao 701685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys are lucky it gets picked up every week, for most of you. Our recycle bin is larger than our trash bin, but it still gets so full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701661 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:30:54 +0000 Reese 701661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get ours picked up the same day as the trash (weekly) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701535 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:01:48 +0000 BelugaBean 701535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a service that comes and picks it up every other week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701524 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:00:24 +0000 MediaNaranja 701524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is picked up every other week on the same day as garbage pick-up. They will collect recycling for free, and garbage is a "pay as you go" system---$2 per bag/can, more if it is a larger item or furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701500 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 08:54:39 +0000 prettylizy 701500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our recycle is paid for by property taxes and picked up every second week.... as long as we remember to put it to the curb. There is a lot of cardboard in my garage right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-recycle#post-701492 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 08:52:53 +0000 Alivoo01 701492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is picked up every other week on the same day as trash pickup. They provide a large recycle bin that looks like trash can, but in a different color. </p>
