I remember that as a kid in general King county (many of the suburbs of Seattle). However it's still not enough. * More bins for more specific TYPES of plastic * Better, machine readable, (BIG) labels * Financial incentives (carrot and stick) I'll elaborate more on that last point. Restaurants should be encouraged to create takeout packaging that is more easily recycled and/or composted. Similarly wrappers, boxes, cups and packets should have a per unit tax for non-environmentally friendly units. There should also be a push towards the use of glass and metal and paper over plastics. Sturdy glass bottles can be cleaned, thermal blast smoothed and re-used or broken down and recycled completely. Similarly metal lids and cans can also attain a new life with ease.
