Recycling Overload

Okay, we’re not the most fastidious couple on the block.  We sometimes let dishes sit longer than we should, and laundry, both washed and unwashed, has a tendency to pile up in the hamper or baskets.  We aren’t pack rats, however….except when it comes to recycling.

We are big fans of recycling and have given over most of the closet under our stairs to a recycling center.  The problem is that we’re bad about taking our accumulating recycling to the recycling center.  Despite this, we won’t start throwing stuff away.  We just add more bins (and eventually pile stuff on the floor in the closet).

That means we end up with a mess like this.  Fortunately, Dave and I are in cleaning/organizing/get our lives back on track mode, so we sorted it all out and carted it off to the recycling center.  (We kept the cat.)
