recycle

Well, I bought recycling bins about a month ago, and we’ve been separating everything, but it’s been quite a challenge to find out when the pickup is, because in our city most people have not even heard of recycling, have no idea what it is or why they’d want to do it, and they certainly can’t tell us when we should take our bags downstairs. If we take them down on the wrong day, the cleaning men at our apartments will just toss the stuff in the dumpster, which kind of defeats the point.

Recycling is basically unheard of in Turkey, people don’t even know what it is, but just recently they’ve started trying to introduce the idea to the public. I actually know how to recycle at home from having lived in other countries, so I want to get a bin system set up in the house so we can start separating the trash from the recyclable stuff.
