Me and my family use a lot of bottles and cans. I would like to recycle but I do not have the time to get them all together and take them somewhere just for a couple of dollars... And in the complex that i live in we do not have a recycle bin. So what should i do because i feel bad always throwing these things to the garbage?

You have a good question.
I think people who are religious about recycling bottles and cans are just wasteful. If you like soda, why not just get a fountain tap for the home? You can put in your three or four favorite brands, and have a filtered water tap, too.
Sure beats using all those bottles and cans, and then either recycling them/not recycling them.

I would campaign to get recycling containers for your complex. Find out if your city has a recycling collection program. Maybe your city has a requirement that the complex is ignoring.
Some communities just let residents toss their bottles and cans in the trash. They separate everything after it is collected. Call your city's refuse collection agency and see what their policies and practices are.

Get a sports bottle and refill it. I refuse to drink bottled water. Cuts down on stuff I need to recycle by a lot.

Do it when you can. Don't worry about it too much when you can't. Eventually, the sun will explode and recycle the entire earth in a most spectacular way.
