What up peoplekind! VenomnymouS here, once again, giving an exclusive look into my mundane-ass life. Ha!

So something you don't know about me. I recycle a lot of empty bottles every year. NO SERIOUSLY!..A LOT!

See, at my work, part of my duties is taking out the trash. I get a lot of trash at my work and well, I pick out the bottles (no shame) and have been doing so for many years. I'd say I average about 600-800 bottles a week.

Well, with all that bottle picking at my work, I've been neglecting the empty containers in my house for like a year or 2 now, and finally I had enough!

I stuffed the van full of bottles, I managed to get 7 bags in. We still have more bottles, but we will be taking those in next weekend.

Not bad! Hopefully next weekend I'll get something around that amount.

Good for you! Love that you are doing that. Here for a family of 5 we usually have 4-5 large bags of recycling and about 2 bags of garbage a week. That includes things like baby diapers that I cannot recycle. I know there are ways to make less trash but I'm working on it. Your hard work is much needed and as well from everyone else. Thank you.

Thank you! Hey it sounds like you're doing pretty good trashwise. My trash output each week is like two grocery bags of diapers, a blue bag of recycling and a large paper bag of cat litter. We use wood pellets for cat litter.

I don't throw out any food waste because I have two large composting bins outside and a medium sized vermicomposting bin in the basement.

How good is the wood pellets for cat litter? My cat is something stinky man! He's the worst I've seen yet.

This spring I will be getting some help to make a composting bin. Looking into vermicomposting a bit more. See what I can do. That would help immensely for the trash part and for the garden.

I have five cats and the wood pellets work great! I've been using them for over 10 years. But don't buy the wood pellets at the pet store, they way overcharge. You can get the same exact wood pellets for cheap, 40lb bags at Canadian tire.

Right on, I will try it out thanks!

That's a pretty sweet haul!

Yeah, not too shabby.
