Recycling???

Please excuse the picture of the contents of our trash can, but I just wanted to show you guys how the recycling system here in Texas (at least as far as I know) is nonexistent. In the apartment complex we live in, there is just one big container in which we throw all our trash. As you can tell by the picture, it doesn't matter if it is paper, plastic, aluminum foil, empty soda cans etc., it all goes in the same place. Horrible... The first time Michael ever saw somebody recycling was in Boston where we could at least separate paper, plastic, foil, and metal cans!
