Making my recycling bin larger than my trash bin was super easy with a stripped oatmeal container and a large paper clip.

Once I started to get more serious about zero waste, it was clear we needed to down size our landfill receptacle. It was super easy to cut down when we started to recycle soft film plastics by dropping them off at Cole Hardware or to the plastic bag recycling box in front of Safeway. Turns out all soft film plastics can be recycled there, including dry cleaning wrap, bread bags, cereal bags, etc..... of course the goal is to cut down on this plastic as much as possible since it can only be downcycled once into plastic lumber. Below are some other examples of soft film plastics.  LOOK OUT ZERO WASTE - HERE WE COME!
