Have you thought about this? can you tell me what you put into them? Did you know that you can reduce the total amount of trash going to the landfill by up to 75% by simply recycling? WOW!!!75% just imagine.

Ya--- Family of four with one who is 3 and one who is 10 months produces 2 bags a week. could probably get that down to one if I really try.

flea-- You are so right. see ya there Im sure. we can both tell everyone else "I told you so"

cpinatsi-- you can recycle much more than just packaging. do you use batteries? Paper? Garden vegetables and fruit? You can recycle just about everything that you use. if you cant recycle it you can reuse it in some way or the other

Answer 1

As a family we put our 2 bags at most, most weeks one, before recycling we use to put our between 4-6 bags each week, basically everything that can be recycled goes in the recycling bins, all else goes into the rubbish bins.

We have certainly cut down on our waste which goes to the landfill sites.

There are five in our household,

Answer 3

I do recycle every recyclable package, and I end up with about 2 bags of recyclables and 2 bags of trash per week. We are 2 people and a cat, and we live and work in the same place, so this is pretty much all the trash we produce (we don't throw things anywhere else, I mean, at work or something).

Answer 5

I live with 3 other people, and together the 4 of us produce roughly 2 bags of trash on an average week. On my own I probably contribute to a 3rd of that, simply because most of it is bottled water. Yes I know I could recycle the bottles, but my neighborhood doesn't recycle, and my family only takes trips to recycle when we have large amounts of stuff to recycle, usually after holidays or when we do spring cleaning.

Answer 6

I do recycle each recyclable kit, and that i eventually finally end up with about 2 bags of recyclables and a couple of baggage of trash a week. we are 2 people and a cat, and we are living and artwork interior an same position, so it fairly is phenomenally lots each of the trash we produce (we do not throw themes everywhere else, i advise, at artwork or something).

Answer 7

Most weeks only 1 bag. But some weeks 2. We only put it what can't be recycled. We have 2 recycling bins every week which is full.

Answer 8

Half or maybe 1 bag pe week. And when oil is exhausted, we'll all run to the landfills looking for the plastic bottles we have thrown and not recycled.
