My new blue recycle bin!

· · 🌡️ 74°F

I finally went to the city hall today and got my recycle bin!

O my blue recycle bin
To you my hopes I pin
Over the seas of unrecycled waste
Ferry my plastic and paper with renewed haste!

On a related note, denizens of Elmwood & Around, can you point me to cardboard/plastic/paper recycle drop-off boxes that you may have spotted in and around the Elmwood/Downtown area? I have a ton of cardboard, and milk cardboard cartons that I need to drop-off before I find the right neighbour, whose recycle-box-family I can put my new recycle bin next to.

I know of a couple, but they are a bit of a hike away:
1. On Virginia, on the way to Betty's, across from the fire-station
- Cardboard/Paper drop-off box.

2. On Lafayette Ave, just before the Lafayette-Grant crossing.
- Newspaper drop-off box

Thanks so much for your input!

    Your free to bring it to my house on elmwood and lexington. We put the bins out on Tuesday evening and they collect the recycles in the am on wed. I have no idea of any drop off areas, but you can call the recycling hotline. 858-6996. You can also visit buffalorecycles.com to find out what they take and remember that wegmans takes all plastic bags (bread bags, shopping bags, dry cleaning bags, packaging bags, bags, bags, bags) Of course everything should be clean and not attract insects or rodents. Wegmans also takes soda and beer cardboard which buffalorecycles says is not acceptable in the blue bins.

    Congrats on your bin. Did you talk to your property manager about recycling on site?

    ps, I have turned off my computer every night since I said I would. I also gotta say I love my canvas shopping bag. I just used it at Guercios today.

    Our apartment house finally got together and now a few of my neighbors have the blue bins.

    As for where to bring the cardbord - hmm I have no idea. Sorry!
