[Magdalen] Recycling

[Sibyl Smirl]

As you can see from everything so far, it varies a lot.  Ask whatever 
local person is handy.  Or just give up and throw it in the trash can. 
Those are available everywhere.

Personally, for my household trash and garbage, I have a compost heap, a 
recycling center 16 miles away which burns extra gasoline unless I have 
something else to do on the same trip, a business that buys aluminum and 
other scrap metal 9 miles in the opposite direction (I could take the 
aluminum to the center, of course, but I feel it necessary for the money 
to compensate for the gasoline (who compensates the atmosphere for the 
gasoline?) since the center doesn't pay for anything, and a weekly 
pickup for "pure" trash of the types that nobody takes, that goes to a 
landfill.  Black & white paper, of which there's less every year, goes 
to the compost or garden mulch, while colored pages (which contain heavy 
metal, which I don't want on my garden) must go to the recycling center. 
  And on and on in detail.  At some point, with the tangles all of this 
go into, I throw up my hands and give up, and then feel guilty for 
giving up.

All of the above, of course, is of little or no use to someone traveling.

Margaret, I admire your commitment.
