Not cool! The previous owners of our house didn't have one - they said it took too much time to recycle. *baffles* I'd say that probably 1/3 to 1/2 of our household waste is recycled - and that proportion will improve once TRex is out of disposable butt-coverings. It'd be even more awesome if we were composting, which I may decide to do sometime in the not-too-distant future.
