okay um what does your does your community do anything about recycling we have been working hard to get a program of recycling going um-hum the best we've been able to do is an area that has uh storage bins uh for um bottles and uh plastic um um-hum but people need to drive it there we don't we haven't moved to having uh picked up with the garbage yet right Plano um oh it's probably been i guess i started in September um started where they gave every every household a bin that you could do newspapers aluminum uh bottles with code one and two on them and uh glass and uh it has been really really successful um they said that they figured like twenty five to thirty percent participation and it's been like forty five percent and um they also do um they pick up on another day of the week for um lawn debris that could go in like a big compost here uh they don't take uh lawn debris to the landfill any more we need to load it into cars and take it to a general site where it gets recycled uh but um-hum i think they're they're not making it easy for the uh general public to do it here i mean they they you have to haul everything yourself which can be a mess when it comes to uh yard waste in particular right right how big is your community well we've got enough people we've got a community of about eighty five thousand yeah but they're just very reluctant to to get moving the way in which i would like to see them moving um-hum the i yeah that's i i would like to see the manufacturers really uh you know the only thing that they recycle right now is is plastics one and two and i would like to see them recycle either more plastics um you know up to code seven or eight whatever it is or see the manufacturers using more of the um uh code one and two that i i mean i don't even know of a place to drop off the other the other ones um did did did you tell me that you're recycling newspapers but um we're recycling newspapers aluminum um i mean like aluminum cans like soup cans and all that not just you know soda pop cans um glass and uh the plastics boy you're you're further ahead here most people are recycling aluminum soda pop and beer cans uh for the money that they get out of them and that seems to be the only incentive on that side right it sure does take a lot of lot of cans to do that that to make anything though at least down here it i i took like two garbage sacks full i mean just like paper sacks and got like a quarter and i thought this just really isn't worth my time yeah it really is but there are a few people who who so that that go through the dregs yeah they will manage it what we've done at the church is to have uh people bring the stuff to our church yeah um-hum and then there're couple of people who who crunch them down and then uh take them to a recycling center and then the money is used for uh the outreach program to provide food um-hum that's great and so that has been an incentive uh within uh our our particular church yeah but newspapers the city doesn't want and none of the uh recycling places want them because they say that they're it costs them more to recycle than than they get out of them so we're stuck with newspapers yeah really really we we i know uh even before this took place um in September the our like our boy scouts were doing paper you know paper drives and even when i was younger um i remember having paper drives at school and um so i know it it seems like for you know a long time the the Dallas area has been doing some kind of paper recycling i don't know what they did with the papers you know twenty thirty years ago i'm not sure but i know now i mean we have a lot of um stores Wal-Mart is down real big down here and and their their paper sacks that they do are all you know out of recycled paper and we have a lot of lot of companies
