BIG news for me--
Have you ever considered being a Zero-Waster? This has been a goal of mine that has evolved
since my Everglades
trip with Charlie
Bunker of Davenport. :) I
just cancelled my garbage service this morning!
I cancelled my service, not because I'm changing service companies or
moving, but because I only throw away about half a plastic grocery store bag of
stuff per week (most times less.) And,
I'm very grateful that Everkept
will allow me to continue using them for recycling service at the usual rate of
$12.00 per quarter. I've called several
other providers and they do not provide recycling cart service only, unless it
is bundled with garbage service (which I no longer need.) I recycle just about everything at Treehuggers, but am extremely
happy not to lug the extra along that I usually recycle with Everkept. I replaced my garbage service with Organicycle (they
accept 100% food waste, all paper products, even wax coated cartons, and even
accept yard waste, pet waste and meat and dairy – it’s all composted.) I cannot thank my family enough for being *somewhat*
supportive of my (our) new efforts and making this lifestyle change, and a
special thanks to my dear husband Mike! Mike continually helps make all of my dreams
come true, no matter what they are and I am grateful for him!
More to come. I've been wanting to post my notes from the Grand Rapids Garbage Tour 2013. I'm hopping to get those up within the next week or so.
Have a great day!!!
