recycling

I noticed today that we sure are cutting down on garbage by recycling. Recycling is something I never did in Victoria because it was to difficult to deal with. It is so nice to be in a place that recycles logically. I have lised a few differences between recycling in victoria (CRD) and here.

Louisvile Recycling:
Recycling day:
Have your recycling out each friday

Sorting:
If you want to sort it that would be nice other wise toss it in the box we give you for free. Clean would be kind of nice to.
Cardboard must be in 2 foot by 2 foot pieces.
Items taken:
Papers, Plastics, Cans etc


CRD Recycling
Recycling Day:
Have your recycling out every 3rd blue moon except if the blue moon falls on a lunar exlips in which case have the recycling out on Pierre Trudeau's grandmothers sisters birthday.

Sorting Items:
Sort objects within a bulk of objects from a heterogeneous population is provided. The bulk of objects to be sorted has an inherent variation, and at least one class, having less variation than the originally inherent variation of the bulk, is separated from the bulk. This lesser variation represents a quality of composition with reference to any organic material of the objects within the bulk. The method comprises the steps of distributing each of the objects to be separated as a separate object in a sorting device; exposing the separate object to energy emitted from at least one energy source; recording from at least one point of the separate object by means of at least one sensor a first multivariate signal; predicting or classifying, by means of a calibration method previously performed on a subset of the population, between the first multivariate signal and the quality of composition, a second signal expressing the magnitude of at least one quality variable of univariate variation; and separating the separate object from the sorting device to the at least one collected class in dependence on the magnitude of the at least one quality variable of the second signal from the at least one point.
(ok I stole this but its damn close to the crd rules)

Items taken:
paper if it has never touched plastic
plastic if it has never touched paper
carbord of its folded into the following origami shapes: horse, cow, cat, parliment buildings.

I couldn't recycle there, I can only fold stuff into a crane (the bird, not the machine) or a frog.
