A big difference we have noticed here in Oklahoma is people do not recycle on a regular basis. You may have your occasional person that recycles but there is not a weekly/biweekly service that comes to your house like in Minnesota. For something that was so hard to get used to years ago when Minnesota really started recycling, it sure is hard NOT to recycle now here in Oklahoma. Everything I throw into the garbage I feel bad about. :( And the amount of garbage we have...WOW! Especially with moving...all the boxes and paper...WHY is this not being recycled. Wyatt even asked me the other day, "Mom, where do I put this bottle to recycle it?" "Well Wyatt, we don't recycle here." Wyatt responds with, "WHAT? That is so bad! We should be recycling!!!" Yes we should! Again today, after grocery shopping and buying granola bars, etc. that come in a box I was reminded I need to figure this dilemma out.
So, this prompted me to do a little research. There is a recycling facility here in Broken Arrow that we WILL be using! I just need to go get some bins to start the process. For those of you that are reading this in the Broken Arrow, OK area here is the website you can check out to start your recycling.
It is called:
The M.E.T (The Metropolitan Environmental Trust)
Although this will be more work for us I am looking at the positive side: CHORES FOR THE BOYS!!!!
Here's to Reduce Reuse Recycle!
