Sandy asks…
How can I get my 3 plastic recycle bins apart?
This is really stupid but I’m in Ontario. We have plastic recycle bins that we fill and put out with our garbage. The goofs who empty them sometimes put one bin inside another. Rigth now I have 3 bins stuck together; and 2 bins stuck together. We have tried pulling them apart without success. Maybe there is a suction thing happening. Any suggestions on how I can separate these bins?
The Expert answers:
Hold the top one and tap the bottom bin with a hammer…then when that falls , do the same to the next
you can also run water from a garden hose in between the bins

How do I get our city to set up recycle bins?
I live in an apartment and we only have a dumpster for all trash. I would like to begin recycling. How do I find out where to take my recyclebles and how would I go about getting our city to place recycle bins next to our dumpster?
The Expert answers:
Call the city and ask them if the waste management company provides recycling bins and ask them if there is recycling pick up in the city. There may already be recycling in the city, but your apartment complex does not participate. If your city doesn’t recycle at all, do a little research and demonstrate to a few politicos how recycling is economically the way to go. Paper, glass and aluminum frequently result in financial contributions to waste management. It could also be that all the trash pick up is privately run, and is based on a contract that would need to be amended unless the waste mangement company already does some recycling separate from the city contract. Other arguements are for safe disposal of pesticides, electronics, the new and old flourescent bulbs and other household wastes that once in a landfill are long term contaminants. So gather your arguements and talk with the city planners, shakers and movers.

Mandy asks…
Can I get in trouble for taking cans from recycle bins?
Scrap prices for aluminum have pretty much skyrocketed and I was wondering if taking cans from recycle bins or other places is illegal or not? I just need some extra cash.
Ok, so it is illegal, however if I asked the people and they gave it to me then it wouldnt be illegal right?
The Expert answers:
Yes, most people don’t care. I myself do care and have stopped people many times from doing that,
problem is, they take the cans/bottles and dump other stuff on the floor. If called the cops will take action.
