The Expert answers:
I think it could count as long as someone is there to supervise you so that there is proof that you actually did do it. Confirm first with your school, probation officer, or whoever it is you have to confirm with.

Sandy asks…
is recycling garbage make my garbage bill cheaper?
my bill is like around 41 will my bill be cheaper if i recycle or will it make it cost more
The Expert answers:
I don’t know where you live so I can’t say for sure. All I can tell you for sure is “if” you are charged a flat rate, recycling won’t change your bill one way or the other. If however, you are charged according to how much garbage has to be picked up, it will depend on the company’s policy.
Where I live, recycling is encouraged but there is no discount on our trash bill. It’s a flat rate regardless of how much garbage we have.

That we can recycle over 60% of what the average household throws away. I live in an county that has a state of the art Materials Recovery Facility.

Recycling or Garbage? Easy points!?
My birds (5) poop a lot. I usually use wood shavings and also paper to clean their cages. When the wood shavings are filled with poop I throw it out in the garbage. I think that’s where it goes. But the paper i don’t know because it has poop all over it so should it go in the Garbage or recycling?
The Expert answers:
It would all go in the garbage unless you have a compost bin or pile. It would be a wonderful addition to the compost.
