I forgot to say that if we throw anything away that is electronic, there is a big-time fine for that. I don't know about cell phones, but computer stuff and such for sure. I wonder if stores like Wal-Mart could set up a bin with a small opening at the top, so people could just slip their cell phone into it when they need to get rid of it. Hey- PaceButler could supply the bins and ask Wal-Mart to put them in their stores (or any other store). I wonder if there is a danger with all those phones stacked up though- due to battery explosion or leakage problems. I think I'm over thinking! :) Oops!

Weeks are alternated between glass, plastic, metal and paper. It feels good to help, but I wish they would provide one plastic bin with three seperate compartments. That would really help. Right now they just give us a square plastic bin to put stuff in. You take it out by the trash cans on pick-up day. The bin is never big enough to hold it all, either. If they find an excessive amount of recyclable material in your trash, you get fined on your next bill- which I get..but again I wish they would provide a bin that is big enough. As far as I know there hasn't been fraud- at least not up where we are. We live in NE Wisconsin, and we are required to recycle our trash.

I never knew this would be illegal. Definitely need to pass the word so unsuspecting people do not try this. I’m glad I did not try to do this myself. I never knew this would be illegal.

Price of aluminum vs. 10 cents a can in Michigan. Glad to hear people are recycling, sad to hear about the fraud.
