well um i live at the beach and
yeah
and we don't really have a lot of recycling here
well yeah
but you have do you have a lot in Rochester
we have a lot of recycling in Rochester they do uh what they call curb side pick up
okay
and so they come by and they'll pick up uh the newspapers and cardboard and uh different colors of glass and uh
see what else tin cans and uh plastic like you know your milk jugs and you know soap soap soap bottle uh jugs and all that type of stuff
oh so they just pick up everything
yeah so do they do any uh any sort of recycling back down where you are
well i think they do some voluntary on the beach but i live in apartments and we don't have it here
um-hum
okay
um
in Wilmington
they have it there more i think and that's like the big town near us
um-hum
but um
i really wish they would have it
okay do uh
i mean what do you think they ought to be doing down there in terms of doing more recycling and things like that
well sometimes i don't feel so bad
i mean it's really i mean it this is really sad too because we have a big dumpster at our apartments and there's this little man that goes through our trash all the time to get the cans out
um-hum
oh wow that's really unfortunate
i know
well they do a whole lot of recycling here in Rochester i'm kind of hard pressed to say they ought to do more because i don't know what else they'd pick up i mean you know they
they say things like you know they want all the little uh you know those little recycling symbols like the number ones and the number twos and all those things
uh-huh
well they you know they say they'll pick up anything with number two but they guys who are uh picking it up are are kind of i don't know i guess they aren't well trained
because like they say they also say they won't pick up you know the you know like you buy a uh uh uh a six pack of pop and you know the plastic rings that they come in
uh-huh
uh-huh
well nowadays those are coming with a little recycling symbol on them you know with the number two but they won't pick it up because they say well no we don't pick up that we only pick up you know like the milk jugs and soap jugs and stuff like that
so i think they could be doing more if they here in Rochester
if they just uh
quit doing uh you know so much based on what the container is in terms on what used to have in it or something and if they did more on
you know what the material is
yeah
so uh i don't know so they don't do any recycling hardly at all down there
well i mean they do some but none of it's mandatory
yeah
and like i said i live in an apartment complex
um-hum
and so they don't do it for us
okay
but some of the houses i've seen some of the bins around some of the houses
okay well do you have any place you could take stuff if you wanted to
there is a place
but it's in Wilmington
okay
and so it's like a a big hassle you know to try to get everything together and i mean uh you'd have to save it up and have all that stuff lying around your apartment
yeah
yeah
well that's wild i mean like well how far is Wilmington from there
it's um about twenty minutes
oh wow so you'd have to get everything together and take it over there that'd be a real pain they ought to do the curb side stuff
um-hum
i know but i just think it's it must be hard to do in an apartment thing like this
they do it here i mean they they have it here in Rochester in the apartments and people you know they have to do some special stuff but you know the apartment complex it's not the city see here in Rochester the city does it
really
um-hum
it would like i i own my own house so the city comes by and they pick up you know
the stuff on the same day they pick up the trash
but for the apartments all the apartment places you know pay somebody to pick up all the trash
and so the apartment people you know the the the waste disposal people have to come up with their own system but we passed a law here and they said you just got to do it there's no choice because all the you know all the landfills up here are full
yeah now see that i think that's why it's not as strict in the south it's because we still have have a lot of land left
yeah
oh wow
so i mean but i mean people do need to realize that that there's not always going to be land
but that's going to change
yeah
yeah that's going to change at some point you know a couple of years ago nobody around here talked about it and then one day everybody just kind of woke up and said gee you know we're we're in trouble and we got to fix this problem
um-hum
but i know i went to see my brother in Philadelphia in May and he
yeah
was in a voluntary program
um-hum
