New recycling bins paying off

I have to admit my wife and I were not the best when it came to recycling. But after Manatee County provided the big blue bins on wheels, it has made it so much easier.

We used to put out two large plastic garbage cans full of trash each week. Now, thanks to the new recycling bins, I put out maybe one can of trash per week sometimes with only one bag of actual trash in it. The rest goes in the recycle bin.

Kudos to Manatee County, great job!
