My first recycling bin walk was a success!

[sammmmmmm]

So I headed out at about 8:30, so that I would not be caught! Still, I was a little nervous and skipped a lot of houses I thought might catch me!

The best finds were definitely the apartment buildings about 2 blocks down from my house! There we're like 8 bins all lined up! What a time saver!

I found:
$1.15 worth in bottles and cans
1X- FPC Eggo coupon
1X- FPC Quaker Oats Granola bars coupon
AND $12 worth of Glad coupons!

I can't believe these people didn't take the time to cut out these coupons! WHAT WE'RE THEY THINKING!?

Oh well, their loss, my win!
I hate that my recycling day is only every 2 weeks.

ALSO, I have a question for you divers out there. Do your bins have lids? Because our do, and it makes it so much more conspicuous!

My bins have lids the bIg bins I mean. I just swallow my pride and give thanks to the lids for keeping the rain away! I also have one of those grabber things that look like a long claw so that I dont actually have to get in the bin hahahaha

Great walk!!

For me it depends. If I am doing a neighbour hood walk, its the blue boxes with the yellow bag for mixed paper and the blue bag for newspaper. My fave is the big blue bins with lids that are outside appartment buildings. Their newspaper bin is always stuffed with inserts. The other day I found a bunch of feb/mar/april red plums and smart sources ( cause some people in apptment bulildings don't care when they recycle) Plus the mixed paper ones are full of a LOT of peoples cereal boxes, not just one household. I sometimes go with a friend too, makes it more fun and less embarassing if you get caught!

Awesome recycle bin brag!!!
I am pretty sure they will have a lot of brandsaver inserts in bins next week here and I wish they will be on top of the bin...I never go too far!!!
