When we lived in Germany, we had to recycle absolutely everything. Even table scraps, for compost. I never did that though cause it just stank. But by the end of the week you might have left like half of a paper-bag full of stuff you couldn't recycle. Usually less. And it wasn't hard at all once you got used to it. But where I am in Florida, they do none. And even if I tried to do it myself, these redneck yahoos would say, "What's that"? That have absolutely no provisions for recycling dry cell batteries. I still save all my used ones. They're just a hazard. Even when I took a bunch to the landfill they didn't know what to do. Someday they'll say, "Shit, we shoulda done that. Now we're screwed".
