Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Do You Recycle? That is what Joanna of Joanna's Food asks in a one off MEME (if you have your own blog please join in and let Joanna know for the write-up). While Monday is Leftovers Day at SlashFood what do you with all the non-food waste?
What happens to the TV dinner tray, the plastic cola bottles, the plastic carrier bags, and the like? What do you do with the potato peelings or the half-bitten chocolates?
"I've just finished grappling with the rubbish bin (nice shiny stainless steel Brabantia), and found myself wondering what everyone else does with their kitchen waste .... it's the less glamorous end of cookery, but takes up time and energy, and we all do it differently. Do you recycle? Does everything end up in the landfill? Are you a composter? What about national differences? Photographs not necessary (!) although ingenious recycling bins would be interesting to see ..."
Where I live we are blessed with front door collection of recycle boxes and are a stones throw or three from glass recycle bins. No chance of a compost heap at my place though which is the final piece in the recyclers armoury I guess...

I don't usually recycle office paper because I don't think it is taken by the recyclers (they just throw it out, oddly enough), nor do I recycle a lot of the other plastic from food, since it isn't allowed. The technology to recycle a lot of plastic is too expensive and resource-intensive to be worth it.
I find it rather strange that for our apartment complex, each trash unit has two big dumpsters you could probably fit a car in each, but the recycling bins are small enough that they fill up very quickly.
I live in a hippie town (ann arbor, mi) so this is all the more surprising.
