recycling

It's Sunday morning. In an hour or so I'll load the pickup for the recycling run. We live in the county so we don't have a blue curbside container tended by city sanitation workers on a regular weekly schedule. It's up to us. We make the decision-throw it away and watch it disappear from our lives in a black plastic garbage bag, or keep it around for a week until one of us remembers to haul it off. It's do it yourself out here in the land of libertarians, low taxes, and freedom from civic services like sewer and garbage.
