How Mr.P is Going Green

How MrP Is Going to Go Green Oct 14, '08 11:29 PM for everyone MrP talked to the trash guys.  They will take empty cans if they are bagged separately.  Imagine that.  He will then set his empty cans on the counter.  I will rinse them out for him and put them in a sack.  Then I will proceed to take the sack to the garage and empty the sack into a bigger trash bag when it is full.  When said bag is full I will put a twist tie on it and set it out on trash day for the trash men.  That is how MrP is going to go green.

Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 14, '08 lol, that's exactly what I told him. Almost in those exact words. Delete Reply alabamastonethrower wrote on Oct 15, '08 Uhmmm...wait a minute...he's going green by having YOU do the work?? ROFL!! Delete Reply freyavalkyrie wrote on Oct 15, '08 Well he actually IS going green...having you move the stuff and do all the work is saving HIM energy....*rolls eyes* Delete Reply j5uliana wrote on Oct 15, '08 Kind of like how Willie goes green, except ours get loaded into the trunk of the car and I drive them to the recycling center. He is so earth conscious!!! Delete Reply grannytazzy wrote on Oct 15, '08 Well at lest you are going green, but if i'm gonna take the time to rinse and save cans, I'll take them and sell them for a whole $.25/lb lolol Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 grannytazzy said Well at lest you are going green, but if i'm gonna take the time to rinse and save cans, I'll take them and sell them for a whole $.25/lb lolol  That is the problem with recycling granny, the incentive. I mean we even have a can crusher but what you get for what you take plus by the time you buy gas doesn't make it worth your while. Especially when we have to drive about 30 minutes to get to the place to take them. Delete Reply freyavalkyrie wrote on Oct 15, '08 Of course, YOU're just polluting the hell out of the whole world with all that wasted energy of YOURS. LOL Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 freyavalkyrie said Of course, YOU're just polluting the hell out of the whole world with all that wasted energy of YOURS. LOL  Haha, read above freya. It is really not cost effective to recycle. Delete Reply simplelife2000 wrote on Oct 15, '08 Every little bit helps! But it sounds more like YOU are going green instead of MrP LOL Delete Reply zfrog wrote on Oct 15, '08 My family puts the cans in the sink or leave them on the table for me to do all that, but there is no one to pick them up and all the recycle places around here require them to be washed and no water in them and squished down from top to bottom (not flattened in the middle) so I just have a huge pile of garbage bags outside waiting for some place to allow me to dump cans that aren't washed and water free and squished just right. Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 zfrog said washed and water free and squished just right.  I don't mind rinsing them but I never heard of them having to be water free. I even have a crusher so I could do that but they always don't crush just perfect. Geez why don't they make it hard on you? Delete Reply friggncrazy wrote on Oct 15, '08 Men come up with some pretty bright ideas executing them requires a womans touch thump him on the head next time he even looks like he's thinking Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 friggncrazy said thump him on the head next time he even looks like he's thinking  Dang laurie, his head would look like a peanut patty with all those thump marks. I swear that is all he does is sit around and think up stuff for me to do. Like feed and water HIS stray cats.

Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 bonobubba said Go green and get a little cash too... recycle businesses will pay for that aluminum.. I'd soon get the money as the trash guys..  You didn't read above dale. not worth it by the time and money it takes to get there. It takes more gas to get there than I get for the cans. Delete Reply zfrog wrote on Oct 15, '08 I think the recycling places around here are discriminating against frogs because the hispanic neighbor can take all sorts of things to be recycled and he speaks only spanish there so they take it all. If only they knew he spoke perfect english :) Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 zfrog said hispanic neighbor can take all sorts of things to be recycled and he speaks only spanish  hmmm, sounds like...DISCRIMINATION! Delete Reply zfrog wrote on Oct 15, '08 BTW I think it is great MrP is working so hard to keep our planet nice! Did you know that around here we only call men Mr. if we can't stand them. We call them by their name or Sir if we like them. Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 zfrog said only call men Mr. if we can't stand them  Don't side with him now frog. lol I did not know that about the Mister and never heard that, although I think sir sounds better. I personally don't like it when someone calls me ma'am though. It makes me feel really old. Delete Reply bonobubba wrote on Oct 15, '08 I allways set the comment section in reverse.. so sometimes I miss the first comments left.. my bad ! however, if you were to save the cans and then one day while going into town anyhow, stop by and drop them off ? Delete Reply dews24u wrote on Oct 15, '08 Hey, every LITTLE bit helps right? LOL Delete Reply mscornwall wrote on Oct 15, '08 I don't know what it's like over there but we do have loads of different types of trash here which means that we now have four different bins. Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 15, '08 I wish they would provide us bins. We get nothing out here. Delete Reply mscornwall wrote on Oct 15, '08 We have four different bins plus containers for different types of glasses etc. Delete Reply raenie1 wrote on Oct 16, '08 Yup, sounds like a male all right. They see everything as being so easy ... wonder why?! (groan ;) Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 16, '08 Well, because they aren't doing it. They are the supervisors. lol What are you doing up so late raenie? Delete Reply raenie1 wrote on Oct 16, '08 osuzana said Well, because they aren't doing it. They are the supervisors. lol What are you doing up so late raenie?  Hmm I was just wondering the same about you... but you're farther West than I am, aren't you? Different time zone? Delete Reply raenie1 wrote on Oct 16, '08 osuzana said They are the supervisors.  Yes, they are, aren't they? It's amazing how easily they fall into that roll! (wink, wink) Delete Reply missthemed wrote on Oct 16, '08 move to Australia you get 5c for every can, don't have tp rinse them don't have to squish them (they like then entire) and you get 5c for each one Don't knock that 5c either just from the floor my X's car alone that was at least $10 worth Comment deleted at the request of the author. Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 16, '08 I think it is a man thing raenie. What do you say Vic? 5 cents would be good missy. We get something like a quarter a pound. Do you know how many cans it takes to make a pound? A whole lot. Yeah Vic, I just hate talking to my trash guys, since they are all young and cute. lol Delete Reply bonobubba wrote on Oct 16, '08 We get 75 cents or more a pound here in Arkansas. Some friends of mine were getting almost 2 dollars a pound for cans out in California. Delete Reply rebkin wrote on Oct 16, '08 ...or move to Sweden! It was a pretty good deal bringing them back, but I don't remember how much you got for each can. They decided to increase the pay for them in order to prevent people throwing them away anywhere and it worked well. Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 16, '08 It seems it's better everywhere than here. It would be nice if they even considered doing something for the people in the outlying areas but they are independent trash haulers. I guess they just aren't interested. Delete Reply monaswe2007 wrote on Oct 17, '08 Here in Sweden we have special stations where we can recycle petbottles, cans (like coca-cola) and also batteries. Usually they are placed close to the grocery store. We get something like 67 cent for every can Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 19, '08 Wow, that's good mona, I wish we had something nice like that. Delete Reply truemaskedwabbit wrote on Oct 21, '08 HAHA - wait 'till I stop laughing snorting and drying tears of laughter. We also have recycling boxes one for paper and one for that other stuff. Both are clean and neatly standing in a corner outside. Once in a while I'll help MrWabbit out by emptying leaves and dust particles that happen to accidentally fall into them. Delete Reply truemaskedwabbit wrote on Oct 21, '08 PS - those trash collector guys *are* cute aren't they - smirks. Edit Delete Reply osuzana wrote on Oct 21, '08 lol, it just doesn't pay to be a wife sometimes Wabbit and heck yeah they are. I watch them out the window every Wednesday afternoon.
