I go there once a week. They even provided plastic buckets and I reuse grocery plastic bags inside the buckets for all the things they recycle, then they have a large barrel for the plastic bags, They also take your garbage waste for $2 for a large bag. A lot cheaper then garbage pick up by a private company. Right now they even collect electronics that are free. Our Township has a great recycling depot. I go there once a week.

Oh wait a minute, those statistics are based on a survey by a company that is selling a "solution" to that "problem." If people don't mind bringing all those over-packaged convenience foods home from the big box store, then bringing the empties to the curb shouldn't be too much work. If it is too much to store and carry, the real solution would be to buy fewer packaged foods and beverages in the first place. Isn't "reducing" even better than recycling? The “hassle of transportation to the curb?” Oh wait a minute, those statistics are based on a survey by a company that is selling a “solution” to that “problem.”
