Recycle And Save On Your Trash Bill

My husband and I started recycling because we felt passionate about reducing the amount of waste we sent out to the curb every week.  We started with the usual suspects, aluminum cans, newspapers, and PET bottles.  The recycling list is a little longer now, and we also added a compost pile about a year ago. A wonderful byproduct of recycling and composting materials that I once paid to have removed, is that now I don’t.  I was paying $252 per year to have a 90 gallon trash bin picked up every week. It usually contained two bags of trash from a 32 gallon kitchen trash can. The 90 gallon trash bin is gone and now we set 1 bag out on the curb about twice a month. We only have to attach a prepaid sticker ($1.50 each) on the trashbag, for a grand total of $36 per year.

BilJax has recycling bins set up every Tuesday for its employees to use to bring in their recyclables from home. This is a very useful service for those employees whose trash services do not include curbside recycling and it’s free. I would like to encourage BilJax employees to take advantage of this service and reap all the rewards that come from being a good steward.
