We find it remarkably challenging to recycle in our current living situation. We live in a tiny apartment with no room for our furniture and bicycles, much less an extra bin for recycling. The only waste disposal provided by the landlord is a standard dumpster. The system here is such that it is virtually impossible for people in our position to recycle. After growing up in California where recycling and compost is a fact of life, this has definitely been a culture shock.
That said, I have been known to walk into campus Monday mornings with a mess of bottles, boxes, and cans, ready to dump them into the nearest recycling receptacle.
