I'm embarrassed of my recycling...

[Friday]

So today is recycling day and the new upstairs neighbors are really nice about pushing the bins to the curb. I only have one bag to bring out this week, but it's made up entirely of beer bottles.

Maybe I am just not a seasoned beer drinker (i usually drink wine) but I never noticed how LOUD they are!
Walking them to the curb is like a big announcement to the neighbors that I am a drunkard.
I find myself shushing the beers like a maniac.

Am I a nut bar?

:unsure:

[Fallon]

I take my trash out at like 5:30am, stupid bottles are way too loud.

[silera]

The garbage men know we're alcoholics. We have 8 bins full of liquor/alcohol bottles or empty milk jugs.

They just throw our bins back at the house and when I come home every other Wednesday it looks like a tornado just hit us.

[BoondockSaint]

Rattlle 'em loud and proud! It tells the lames, drys, and buzzkills to stay the fuck away.

[JerseyRich]

Just get a keg already.

They fucking hate us!

Everybody else's bins are placed nicely back on their lawn where they got them. They fucking toss ours all across the front lawn and even in our driveway. I'm pretty sure they shit and piss in them.

The several boxes of wine I carry to the curb are nice and quiet.



I'll take cardboard over classy glass bottles any day...



several days a week.

[DolaMight]

It's recycling day here too. You can hear the alcoholics a block away. I'm one of them. I try to hide the beer and wine bottles under nice things like pickle containers.

I'm also ashamed of not properly separating the paper, plastic and glass. I'm glad I'm not around to get the recycler's dirty looks. Although they don't care like they used to when they would just refuse to take your bin. Now they just throw it all in together.

I'm pretty sure the recycling now goes to the dump. My garbageman looks just like my recyceman. Kinda like a mario brother.

They told me I hafta put my used syringes in government approved biomedical waste containers!!!

Garbage men are "the eyes and ears" of the whole neighborhood. I used to rinse each beer and booze bottle before putting them out. Those days are gone...

Ya know, I can't help but take this thread personally... :down:


And in NY, beer bottles have deposits on them so I have to take them back to the bottle eating machine at the store with the other lushes so I can pay my property taxes.

[mikeyboy]

We have a little room where you leave your recycling in our building. I just open the door, look both ways, and then inconspicuously take the trip to drop of my contraband anonymously.

That's no biggie. When you got there each week, just say "Here I am for my yearly bottle drop off!"

[TheMojoPin]

I enjoy not recycling.

[Reynolds]

What the fuck is recycling?

[Slumbag]

My roomate and I are both kinda lazy, so when we finish beer, we hardly ever take the box out of the fridge. But when I finally get around to cleaning the fridge out, there will be an 18 pack, and a couple of 12 packs, and I hold the six-pack holders with my fridge. So, as I'm walking them out to the dumpster, it looks like we just killed a ton of beer.

[sr71blackbird]

The people who live next to me must be total hard care alcoholics, because every Wed is recycling day and when I walk past their house on my way to work their bin is overflowing with like 20 bottles of scotch. Every week.
In my building the bin gets filled quickly so if its full and I have plastic or glass garbage, I will sneak it into my regular trash. One day my neighbor noticed it and scolded me, saying I could get a ticket. I was like...what are you kidding me?

why not just put it on the floor next to the recycling? and you definitely could get a ticket (but it would most likely go to the super or such and then the building might fine you).

[LaBoob]

I pretty much look like I live at a recycling center on any given day for all the beer bottles and cardboard cases in my mudroom. I have pulled back from drinking for the past few months, but pretty much every one of my friends are into beer in a big BIG way, so I'm constantly working with an over-flowing recycling bin.

You are NOT alone, Friday!

Clinkety-clink, clinkety-clink!

[Hottub]

Rather than cut down on my drinking, I switched to cans.

Quieter and lighter.:drunk:

[ravn816]

Yep, that sounds like our recycling bin too. I really felt odd when the kid was eating baby food and half of the bin would be loud ass beer bottles and the other half was baby food containers.

Yeah, I'm a great mom...

HA! Same here. I'm not exactly a quicker picker upper, so when I do finally clear out the bottles, it looks like I went through two cases of Yuengling myself. Which I did, but over a few weeks.

[hexy68]

you need cans and that can crusher device that turns emptys in hockey pucks

[undressa]

:clap:omg, I guess I am not alone either!
Aside from large amounts of wine, I drink gallons of water, so my trick is, wine bottle on the bottom, 4 or five water bottles, another wine bottle, 4 water bottles, and so on. This way they don't clink so much.

[envirogator]

My company designs and builds landfills; some of our biggest customers are plastic manufacturers; we consult heavily in the petroleum and petro-chemical industries; and, the metal fabricating, production and manufacturing sectors consistently provide enormous revenue streams.

What does this mean?

It means every time you recycle your wine bottle, beer can, milk jug or plastic bag you are taking food OUT of my children's mouths! Thanks soooo much you FUCKS!:annoyed::wink:

[Bellyfullasnot]

There's something very comical about coming home from work at 5:30am and just before I fall asleep getting to hear the sounds of two weeks worth of cans and beer bottles echoing through the neighborhood. As the truck gets closer I try to figure if any of my neighbors "out did" us.

[Friday]

so.... the past couple of recycling days i have either been out of town or not feeling well. as a result, i just threw out a couple of rather large, loud bags filled with mostly glass.

the recycling people are going to hate me!! :innocent:

[A.J.]

I save the beer cases so I can refill them with the empties. It cuts down on the noise.

[TjM]

Meh I just toss em. I don't give a fuck what my neighbors think

[Contra]

Screw the neighbors, clank those bottles!

[razorboy]

Do what I do. Just throw 'em against the wall and pass out in the broken glass.

[Devo37]

there's a cottage industry of old asian recycling women built around my beer bottles. any time i take a bag of empties downstairs to the bin, they're waiting like hyenas ready to swoop down on a recyclable deer carcass.

i do what i can to support the local economy...
