A pair of bins had been delivered to each home on our street, and they were all sitting there, like blue and green trolls, lined up and patiently waiting to swallow up the recyclables. It's nice to know there are others out there whose own level of giddy anticipation was as high as ours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835596563370939343.post-5009643275288630052008-07-16T13:13:00.000-07:002008-07-16T13:13:00.000-07:00I moved to Portland from a place where we had big ...I moved to Portland from a place where we had big blue recycling bins (that also took plastic lids! and plastic grocery bags!) for YEARS. <BR/><BR/>So naturally I was shocked to discover that in Portland I had to sort my recyclables and that a bunch of stuff I was used to easily recycling now required me to take it somewhere other than my curb. Effort? To recycle?<BR/><BR/>I was further shocked to learn that Portland has one of the highest rates of recycling in the country. And then I was humbled and impressed and began dutifully sorting my recyclables, as a good Portland citizen does.<BR/><BR/>And now? Now I am THRILLED that I can walk outside and toss my Silk creamer container directly in the blue bin (after rinsing, of course).<BR/><BR/>Simple pleasures.
