[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 78582, member: 3647"] Actually, the recycling thing is a very good point. Where we live now (a crummy apartment) we have one dumpster. At one time I tried to keep up with recycling as best as I could. I brought cans to the church, (not only were they recycled but the church got money) and I brought all my paper to my mom's to be recycled. I have just not been up to it since I got sick. Where we are moving, there is a bin for paper, a bin for comingled glass, aluminum, and plastic, and a chute for nasty garbage. I think that Tink will enjoy sorting. As far as her putting things in the trash once I ask her...if it is really garbage (like a wrapper that she dropped on the ground) she will do one of 3 things. She will sometimes pick it up and toss it (and I rejoyce), she will often tell me that I am closer so why don't I do it (deep breaths, count backwards from 10) and at least 50% of the time I get "why do I have to do EVERYTHING" and a nice 10 minute meltdown. Yes. Over a granola bar wrapper. If it is a tag, or a bow, or a label, or sometimes even a GoGurt tube that had a picture of Shrek on it, "but Mommmmmmmmy I have to SAAAAAAAAVE it". Whatever.
