[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 987376, member: 12570"] Why would the empty container end up in the landfill? Those containers are recyclable. One of our local waste haulers offers Zero Sort Recycling. They provide both trash and recycling bins to their customers. Recyclable items are simply tossed in to the same bin and then hauled away to a special processing center. What is sad is that even though they have made recycling extremely easy some of my neighbors still either refuse to or can't be bothered to recycle. [url=http://www.casella.com/what-we-do/recycling/zerosort-recycling]Zero-Sort® Recycling | Casella Resource Solutions[/url] The local bakery outlet store that I sometimes shop at does not offer either plastic or paper bags. Customers must bring their own or can purchase reusable bags for $.99 each. I always forget and end up making two trips out to my car. [/QUOTE]
