Today marked the second time this month that I hauled all of my recyclables to the curb. Fortunately today no one ran over my neat little pile - perhaps because it was more of a small mountain. Due to some recent home renovation purchases and a certain someone's birthday, I had a quite a bit of cardboard collecting on the porch. I have also been very diligent about recycling all of my mixed paper and plastics. I've found that I'm taking fewer trips to the big green bin every week and was pleased to count four paper bags full of recyclable paper at my curb as well as a nearly full bin of containers.

Every bit of cardboard was picked up today by Phoenix and my bins were neatly stacked at the curb. I'm happy with the service however, it pains me that I have to pay $15 a month to make up for the city's inadequacies. In actuality, I'm probably paying a lot more than $15 but that's another post entirely. It's not too late to sign up for your own curbside pickup. It'll make you feel good, I promise.
