C Foam Recycle

January 16, 2020

Recycling, wishcyling, feel good thrash disposal. They are not the same. There is some basis
for thinking they are. Many of us who have been recycling for a long time remember recycling many items no longer recycled. For example worn out old clothes, worn beyond Goodwill and Salvation Army use. The “rag man” collected these via horse and buggy. World war II people remember the
“tin man” collecting tin cans. We had to remove both ends, insert them in the can, then flatten the can. This was part of the war effort.
Food waste was always composted in the garden.
Today material handling is totally different. Not much hand work. That has been replaced by machines and robots. The transition from the old to the new is difficult, it's expensive. Recycling has cost.
Visit the Pasco County web site about recycling. It's interesting.

The county has clearly said what they want in the recycling stream ( curbside pick-up )
metal food containers
plastic bottles and jugs with a neck
paper and cardboard
Anything else has a place but not in the curbside pick-up
