Somehow I hadn’t thought of it-
When my sister, who wanted to bring weekly loads of recyclables from the community where she was working, a community with no recycling program, to our community, suggested making more space in our recycling containers by crushing containers or stacking cups one within another, I knew it should have been one of the first things you think of to facilitate your recycling.
Then tonight, when she crushed the materials overfilling one of our recycling containers down by about 1/5th of the container, I was shocked again.
Remember, in all your talks and writings about environmentalism and recycling, tell them to crush down their recyclables. It may increase the volume of recycled materials by many households in your audience by 1/5th of their recycling container every week.
