I'm currently on a business trip now in northern WI, and when I go to throw out a soda can, I look high and low for the blue recycling pail... nope, they tell me they don't recycle.
Okay, so I've heard rumblings that parts of Wisconsin recycle cans and glass - and they do recycle paper. But still - they don't recycle cans & glass? They have to burn everything! The Reason: there is no processing plant to make it easy for people to recycle. Seriously?? I know there are towns of less than 5,000 people up here, but just build a smaller plant!!
I heard in a nearby town, you have to actually be a resident to recycle. And across the boarder in MI, they charge you $2+ "deposits" for cases of "pop" so that they can collect the cans back for the $0.10 / can payment.
I don't understand it and it makes me mad. They drink a whole lot of beer here - haven't they heard of drinking responsibly? That shouldn't just be avoiding drinking & driving... that should include properly managing the waste. I'm starting a resposible drinking program - anyone else in??
