Where I live, just about everything is mandatory recycling, at least
it seems that way. Cardboard, mixed paper (which is everything from
junk mail to magazines to tissue boxes). Plastic bottles, buckets,
glass, aluminum. Metal, electronics, newspaper. Leaves. It's too
expensive to send all that stuff to the landfills and we actually
save money by recycling.

And they pick up a lot of it for us, thank goodness.
