Where can one recycle compost from food scraps in Los Angeles, CA if one lives in an apartment?
In other words, I am not able to have a compost setup at my apartment, however is there a center of some sort that one can drop off compost at (similar to how an individual would take bottles, cans and glass to a recycling center)?
Thanks!
Read MoreIs it worth it for me to recycle cardboard?
The only way I could recycle cardboard is if I saved it up and drove 7 miles down to a recycling center to drop it off. Obviously, it’s not that I’m too lazy, but does the good that the recycling does offset the bad does that the driving does? I feel like if I’m just putting extra CO2 into the air by driving somewhere I normally wouldn’t, then no good is being done. Is it?

In my city we have a recycling center where you can drop off all your recycables mixed in. Technically it says "Plastic containers and Paper", but I throw in all kinds of things: paper, plasic packaging, cardboard, glass bottles, figuring that the should be able to separate it anyways.
I am curious, what happens with all these items when they are mixed in like this? How do they separate them? And do you think they toss away all the items other then "Plastic containers and paper"?

Read MoreWhere do I recycle the plastic pumps from my plastic bottles?
Hi! Does anyone know where I can recycle the plastic pumps from my plastic bottles? Our township don’t take them and neither does the local recycling center that takes almost everything else. The recycling center did say if they were taken apart they might be able to recycle them, but there is no way I can take them apart…I tried. It is such a shame, I have so many of them and I am really conscious about recycling. Any information would be deeply appreciated. Thank you and have a nice one. MJ
