In the other pictures most of the bags have already been sorted they are just waiting to be hauled off to SARCAN.<br /><br />Good to see that your park recycles too! Sorting takes awhile to do but it is really worth it in the long run both for the park and for our earth. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-68982354513633381662016-08-24T09:31:02.806-04:002016-08-24T09:31:02.806-04:00I do much the same thing myself! :-) Do you just g...I do much the same thing myself! :-) Do you just guess the country or the actually area or a combination of?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-54342789420704531942016-08-24T09:29:53.924-04:002016-08-24T09:29:53.924-04:00Good for you, it is always nice to set it aside fo...Good for you, it is always nice to set it aside for something.

How would it get policed? I really wish people would just recycle on their own for the good of the earth.<br /><br />Sounds like a great deal where you live. I think the biggest problem is people don't want to sort or that it takes up too much of their "precious" space but by just putting all the recycling into one box for the garbage company to sort makes it sounds just a little easier for people.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-38985501391154663152016-08-24T09:20:29.643-04:002016-08-24T09:20:29.643-04:00It's extra work for us but definitely worth it...It's extra work for us but definitely worth it for the park.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-19895886379510319272016-08-24T09:18:32.409-04:002016-08-24T09:18:32.409-04:00Saskatchewan has a great recycling program, not on...Saskatchewan has a great recycling program, not only for beverage containers but also for plastic, paper,cardboard and tin.

Various clubs such as the wood working club, or the quilting club or the arts & crafts club take turns sorting the recycling and taking it in and they get the money to fund their various projects.

We just throw everything in one big bin. They separate it for us. It costs us $4 extra a month.
