Where we live we have a comprehensive recycling program. We recycle and return a large amount of material that used to go to the garbage dump. In different places the recycling programs have ranged from comprehensive to non-existent.
When we were in North Sydney, Nova Scotia the the waste had to be separated into 7 different bags. There was garbage garbage, compost, paper, corrugated cardboard, returnables, hard plastic and soft plastic.
Traveling through the US is completely different. There is no recycling that we have been able to find. At one campsite in October the owner had tried to talk the local into doing something with the returnables and she got turned down. We did the shopping today and I carried an armful of stuff to the garbage that at home I would have put in the recycle box.
I also got out today and got some barn and homestead pictures from an area to the north of us, including a run into Mississippi.
