We don’t have recycling in our building, either. I live in a four-unit apartment building in Miami, Florida. Our landlady has garbage pickup service but won’t pay more for the recycling; for buildings under five units, recycling is not mandatory.

We don’t have the option of returning bottles and cans for cash like in other states and we also don’t have landfills or recycling centers — only people who have city recycling service can use them.

So now I save my recyclables and bring them to work, furtively depositing them into their proper bins in our lobby!! I feel kind of silly but it’s the only option at this point.

Good on you for taking the time to recycle your trash.
