At first I didn't want to recycle but now I can imagine not doing it. We can recycle cardboard, paper, glass and plastic but we can not recycle Styrofoam which I thought could be recycled. hmm.<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-44007960649669538222016-12-07T09:43:43.826-06:002016-12-07T09:43:43.826-06:00We are no longer permitted to burn debris here in ...We are no longer permitted to burn debris here in Oregon, at least in the Portland metropolitan area.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-43729371129424812802016-12-07T09:17:58.796-06:002016-12-07T09:17:58.796-06:00We have trash pickup here in Deltona.

Still haven't gotten the answer. In my opinion we need more REAL incinerators that work and also produce some electricity. JMNO.<br />Also I would think cardboard/pasteboard would be good for a land fill.<br />Of course I 'ain't too smart'. I am a born recycler: Shoe strings, shoe tongues, belts, every nut and bolt and most screws. I mix all the paint and find something to paint. LOL<br /><br />Slow news days ain't bad! I liked it!

We are very lucky that we have recycling here but I still save cardboard boxes and I place them along the edge of the cedar hedge under the branches to control weeds as the garden is next to the hedge. The cardboard disintegrates in the soil. I make sure the cardboard over-laps so weeds don't get sunlight. It helps a lot. Wet newspapers also woks well to control weeds. I wouldn't suggest using cardboard boxes in a drought though. That would be a fire hazard.<br />Hugs,<br />JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-25803642756603636222016-12-07T07:37:37.322-06:002016-12-07T07:37:37.322-06:00We've had recycling here for several years now...We've had recycling here for several years now and have had a burn ban in the city for years. I can remember when we used to burn piles of leaves in the fall, but that isn't allowed at all here. Those out in the country can still burn and do, but thankfully leaves and cardboard are taken care of by our city workers.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-48922787964077567732016-12-06T23:30:02.519-06:002016-12-06T23:30:02.519-06:00Setting the world on fire again Rick!
