Ever wonder where your trash goes after it is picked up? Don't tell me that I am the only weirdo that thinks about that sort of stuff. One day I picked up the phone and called Duncan Disposal. I asked very innocent like "does anybody go through our trash (all the trash we put at the curb each week) for recyclables?"

The Lady I spoke with said "nope, it goes straight to the dump". After I got off the phone my first thought was "gosh, what a waste" and "why couldn't we have curb side pick up?" This is a question that I haven't been able to get an answer to yet, but in the mean time I have found a bunch of cool organizations that will take our recyclables and do a lot of good with them.
