“No, because there’s no place that take glass in Lawrence.”
“No, just because we’re so busy we don’t really think about it.”
“I don’t because it’s too much of a pain.”
“Yes, I do because the Walmart is convenient. To be honest, if there wasn’t a convenient place I probably wouldn’t.”

Yes, everything I can -including used bobcats.

Don't you mean mountain lions?

We have for awhile since there is curbside recycling where I live... Although since it is pretty much required by the city government since the beginning of the year, I almost want to stop.
riverdrifter 3 years, 11 months ago
Question: where do these uninvited links come from and who is doing this? These people need to be taken out and gassed. I will NOT do business with these parasites.
Jean1183 3 years, 11 months ago
Yes. I also take my neighbor's recyclables to a recycling bin.
LogicMan 3 years, 11 months ago
No because my species finds everything delicious. Sometimes items are a little hard to chew, but we call it "texture".

Your "cuzins" comments are really getting old. Do you have anything new to say? How many years have you been doing them and how old are you anyway?
RoeDapple 3 years, 11 months ago
I'm older than dirt! And if my comments upset you maybe they hit too close to home. Thanks though for giving me my laugh for the day.
boxers_or_briefs 3 years, 11 months ago
Yes.

Yes we recycle and have for about 30 years. Even when living in a rural area, we carted our recyclables to town once a month or so. Our trash is usually a small kitchen size bag, because everything else is recycled. Remember when they took the margarine and ice cream containers also.
Flap Doodle 3 years, 11 months ago
I reload. Does that count?
sallyone 3 years, 11 months ago
Yes! I use deffenbaugh and I think that the city should use them for our trash services.
Henry_the_liberal 3 years, 11 months ago
We started using them a few weeks ago, it is so much easier than dragging my trash to Walmart. Still have to take the glass, but that is fun to throw into the bins... CRASH!

The wildcat disappeareded before the city's sanitation showed up Monday and evidently, no one bothered to take a photo of it. That was the end of the story.

I don't recycle my boxers _or_briefs but I do have a pair in the Guinness Book of World Records. Skid marks.
lgreen17 3 years, 11 months ago
Very sad that young people surveyed don't recycle. A pain a hassle! Very self indulgent. And, yes, Adam, there are two places in Lawrence that take glass.

I eat when I’m hungry, drink when I’m dry Live my life on the square Even if the flesh falls off my face It won’t matter, long as you’re there
from both Standing In The Doorway & Dreamin' Of You but maybe that's reusing, not recycling...

Hey Hollis -- I saw that show too. I thought the Dough Rollers were awful!

It's not hard to recycle. WallyWorld makes it convenient. I'm like Elaine, the teacher, though. If the Walmart facility wasn't there, I probably wouldn't be doing it.
Every time I go there, it gives me an interesting visual on how much beer I drink.
I once thought recycling glass was silly, thinking it's gonna be a few kajillion years before we run out of sand. Then a buddy sez 'No, you moron, it's to keep it out of the landfills.' Oh, I get it now.

Tomorrows question should be:
Do you purchase recycled products or do you purchase products made from recycled materials?
Recycling is a vital part of sustainable consumption, but it is essential for people to "close the loop." Buying items made up of reclaimed materials ensures that those materials are removed from the consumption cycle before they end up as waste. This is one way consumers can act responsibly.
However, the most responsible thing to do is to address our consumptive patterns and look for places we can reduce our consumption to more sustainable levels.

Mostly aluminum. Many years ago we would target shoot at the sand plant on the weekends. The manager said he would "recycle" the broken Bud bottles and the lead shot into the foundations, walls and streets of Lawrence.

I used to take my recyclying to Wal-mart when I lived in Lawerence. Now I stuff everything in a blue bag and place it curbside in Columbia. Paper goes in paper bags or boxes if you want to recycle that as well. For plastic bags, Hy-Vee takes care of that.

Does one have to cycle before they are permitted to recycle. I don't even own a bike.
LogicMan 3 years, 11 months ago
They are just big rats. Tasty, if fried right. Or raw as my distant relatives the V like them.

Nah, but I'm thinkin' I know who it is. Seems the disapearededed can change their spots but they still troll the same . . .
Kirk Larson 3 years, 11 months ago
Yes, everything I absolutely can. It's the right thing to do morally, it's good for the economy, good for the environment, good for your soul if you've got one.
