Rethink the Bins: Your Guide to Smart Recycling and Less Household Waste | Julia Goldstein
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
Have you heard that recycling is broken? Let's fix it. If you want to reduce the amount of waste you generate but aren't sure where to begin, Rethink the Bins shows you how. The book will help you understand what happens to waste after the bins leave your curb or building, implement best practices for recycling and composting, and create SMART goals around waste reduction and recycling. You will feel empowered to start with small changes that make a difference and become more confident that the items you toss into recycling and compost bins are actually being recycled or composted. Once you have made changes at home, you will probably want to share the message with your friends and neighbors. Rethink the Bins is your next step on a path to a less wasteful future and recycling that works.

A couple of years ago, the entire recycling market changed. As a result, I hardly have any curbside recycling available with my trash pickup. Goldstein explains why, offers alternative solutions, and encourages readers to track their household waste for a month to see just how much they create. It‘s short, clearly written, and full of action steps and worksheets.

valeriegeary Such a disappointment to find out recycling was a fraud. 😥💔 I might have to pick this one up... Sounds like it could be useful! 4y
tjwill My county waste disposal doesn‘t do ANY recycling anymore. They were down to just cardboard, newspaper, and thin plastics, and now nothing. It‘s so discouraging because our previous home had single-stream recycling, and our home city before that recycled a long list of items. 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @valeriegeary @tjwill Yes, it IS upsetting to find that recycling was a for-profit activity, not designed to just save the earth. And now that China changed their policies, nobody makes much money anymore. It‘s so frustrating. Even finding other services to take stuff is hard. But I like how Goldstein tries to gather as much info in one place as she can. 4y
