Taking out the Rubbish

Where we live there are no rubbish bins(trash cans). There are 3 black boxes about beer cooler size where you can put cans, cardboard/paper, and glass out every other Monday. Instead of a roll-away trash can we are given county provided trash bags about the size of a tall kitchen bag. As far as I can figure out you are only allowed 1 per week curbside. So not sorting your recyclable goods is really not an option if you don't want to start your own personal dump in your garden.

There is also a recycling center in town that takes plastic bottles. I've already started smuggling non-bottle plastic waste into the bins at the recycling center. Soon I may be taking midnight strolls to park and city waste receptacles...
