Not many beaches here in Nebraska but I do try to sequester all plastics.

We do have a pretty good recycling program run by our trash-pickup services. One large trash container for trash and another equal sized container for recycling. They recycle nearly all plastics except plastic bags.

The Walmart here collects the plastic bags and plastic wraps for recycling. Practically all of the clean plastics from my household get recycled. I barely put anything in the trash container for weekly pickup but I completely fill the recycling container for pickup once every two weeks.

The trash-haulers in my area combined their recycling programs with a recycling incentive service, Recyclebank, that educates about recycling and gives recycling rewards from various corporations and local businesses.

I can imagine everything needs to be pretty efficient on the Hawaiian islands. They must have an awesome recycling program there.

Steem on,
Mike
