it's the little things that make me happy...

since moving here, i've always wondered why the city only accepted plastics with a "neck" (i.e. soda/water bottles) and not any other types. i had been so used to recycling all sorts of plastics from bottles to yogurt cups, that i was slightly frustrated upon moving here that plastic recycling was so limited. why can't they recycle other plastics when it's possible to do so? well...i just received notice that the city is now taking all plastics for recycling from #1-7. hooray! finally, i can recycle all those yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, and salsa tubs i've accumulated in the cupboards.
