The recycling here is so great I almost want to move back. Trash cans are super tiny, food waste & recycling carts, gigantic.
I want Los Alamos to do this. They do a very good job with composting brush & yard waste, and an OK job with recycling. There is a lot we cannot recycle in Los Alamos: glass, many types of plastic, and that thin cardboard like in cereal boxes.

Hoophouse and compost windrow
I garden up high at an elevation of 7300 feet (2225 meters) in Los Alamos, NM. Hail, cold nights, daily thunderstorms half the summer, a short season, and heavy adobe clay all make for some challenging gardening. I'm into year round vegetable gardening, and now and again I'll blog about water harvesting, perennials, drip irrigation and more.
