I think your answers will depend greatly on how you are defining %26quot;recycle%26quot;.

At home I very rarely set out a bin for the recycle pickup people to collect.

However, I shred my paper goods and donate the bags of paper to the local humane society for them to use in their puppy cages. What can%26#039;t be shredded/donated goes into one of my compost piles as filler.

I rarely have glass containers to throw away because they usually make great rooting containers for home grown plants or storage containers for other items.

I dont buy canned drinks so I very, very rarely have aluminum to throw away.

My plastics do tend to get thrown away. Most of the plastic is limited to wrapping around purchased items and I can%26#039;t reuse that and have no idea if rececle collectors would accept that kind of refuse. Containers are things I can almost always find use for, though.

So in a sense, no - I don%26#039;t recycle. The %26quot;biggies%26quot; (paper, glass, aluminum, plastic) have all been mentioned above with short descriptions - but they never hit actual recycle facilities.

How would I fit into a chart? As one who recycles, or not?

In the end answers are all based on the definition the person asking provides. 100% 3 Votes
