have big signs on them with pictures showing exactly what you can put in them, but the yard waste bin doesn't.

But, I went to the website and printed out a flyer they have for customers showing what you can recycle and I've kept it posted on the refrigerator for years so we would remember.

That's a great idea. Have you considered maybe posting one of those flyers on the yard waste bin outside? It's great that you guys can remember, but if a bunch of other people don't even know you can recycle them that way, then it'd be a nice gesture to help spread the word.

Or at least hang one up in the apartment building lobby even since putting it on the yard waste bin, it could end up waste or destroyed rather quickly?

That's a great idea. I think hanging one up in the apartment lobby would be a good idea! I have never thought about that. You could also post one on the mail boxes!

I have never thought very much about recycling the containers and such that you get from fast food containers. One problem I have where I am is that I live in a small city and they do no recycling at all. This is a shame if you ask me because I have so much that I could put into the recycling idea. Maybe I can go to a city eventually that will do more with recycling.

I have been saving my cups from when we have eaten out this past weekend. The plastic ones that some fast food gives. I am going to start doing this everytime we go out.
