Yes, we recycle, but here they make it easy: only glass has to be separated. Also, we live in a state with a Bottle Bill, so every aluminum can we return is worth 5 cents. The only problem with that, though, is you can't store your cans just anywhere: the bums will come along and take your cans to cash in if they are in a place where they can get at them. I'm not joking.
The truth is, recycling in our household means the difference between the large can and the small can, and so it saves us money every month, while turning cans in earns us our bottle deposits back.
