So, like the title asks, do you recycle at all? If so, what are the ways that you recycle?
Here, we recycle just about everything we can, mostly aluminum cans, because we almost always have soda in the house. And we keep it separate from our other recyclable items, so that we can get a little bit of extra money by actually taking it to a recycling center that focuses on the recycling of aluminum cans. Like today, we plan on loading up the car with all of our cans that we've accumulated within the past year or so and hopefully getting close to $100.
But we also have a big blue recycling bin for those other recyclable items that we put out every Tuesday morning for the recycling truck to pick up.
What about all of you? How into recycling are you?

We basically do the same things you do.
We have a blue bin, but our trash/recycling day is Friday. Most of our recycling is boxes, bags, jars... That kind of thing. The glasses/bottles/cans go to the bottle return so we can use the money if we're short. I like your idea of doing it every six months or a year. That would help out more than every other month.

Heh, well, we don't usually have a set time that we go in, but it's turned into a yearly thing. We really just decide to take it all in when we notice the area getting out of control in the garage. Though this weekend, we decided to get it done because we needed the extra cash, since bills took up most of our money and we only have a limited amount to get us through this week. We didn't get near as much as I was hoping, but oh well, at least it's better than nothing, right?! It'll at least help with gas this week, if nothing else.

That's when we do it, usually. We don't have a garage, so full bags are hauled downstairs. They take up a little too much room, so we do trips more frequently.

Two-litre bottles, beer bottles and those tetra juice carton things; our town is too small to have the facilities to recycle things that used to get recycled back in my old home city.

My old hometown has a recycling facility. Though it's just some open lot behind the bus yard. It's not even for true recycling, either.

In Australia awe have two bins. One for recycling and the other for the usual. Two trucks comes on Monday one for each bin and they go to their respective places.
Wonderful idea and the school children are being taught about recycling and in turn are teach the parents. We have to save the planet.
