[speaker001:] it's recycling
[speaker002:] well uh I think it's a really good thing because um of all the materials we use and things like cans and bottles and stuff like that it's just a complete waste uh you know make them and then throw them away and bury them out in a dump somewhere when you can just as easily melt them down and reuse them
[speaker001:] exactly I agree
[speaker002:] and uh there's a I mean there's so many products that are like that it's just too bad that they can't find more that we could recycle
[speaker001:] well you know I think it all depends on the consumer the more we uh demand from from the people that are producing these goods that they use recycled products the more you know innovative that they'll be
[speaker002:] yeah you're right there but then there's things like the uh newspaper market where they try and recycle as much as they can and then they no one will
[speaker001:] there's not a market for it right
[speaker002:] yeah or it ends up costing a lot more to recycle it than it does just to make it so
[speaker001:] yeah well uh do you have a recycling program where you live
[speaker002:] oh yeah uh I go to Indiana University here and its real big and all the buildings are recycling bins for all kinds of materials
[speaker001:] uh-huh do you have plastics and that kind of kind of stuff
[speaker002:] yeah and also the uh well the University's really big about it they have contests in the dorms and stuff to see who can uh recycle the most stuff and
[speaker001:] uh-huh so this is like in within the school
[speaker002:] yeah within the school and also the city here has uh
[speaker001:] do they have curbside recycling
[speaker002:] yeah monthly curbside recycling
[speaker001:] that is nice see we don't have that here it's going that direction but it hasn't come yet at least to my area and uh and I'm really anxious to uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh right
[speaker001:] get that because I mean it's terrible it's really inconvenient for anybody to drive you know on the other side of town and bring all your lug all that stuff you know dirty
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] you know things and and so I I think that a lot more people would do it if it was you know at their door
[speaker002:] right but then you do don't you get paid when you take your own uh
[speaker001:] well it really depends on the product and the place you go some some places will will pay you and some others others won't
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] so um it depends on you know um the demand for the product that you have
[speaker002:] right sounds like you are an avid recycler
[speaker001:] I'm on the recycling committee at work so everybody comes to me with all their questions so I try to know as much as possible
[speaker002:] are you uh-huh
[speaker001:] but uh we just at work started recycling cans and um what else and paper you know office paper
[speaker002:] right yeah we do that at work too
[speaker001:] but we don't do you know we don't do plastics or glass and those are easily recycled products in a lot of cases but you know you know they have the little recycling triangle
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and some of those numbers in there mean that these products aren't really recyclable
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] so that's kind of inconvenient as well why put recyclable if its in in seventy five percent of the recycling centers you can't recycle it
[speaker002:] right well aren't there pop cans that are like that also
[speaker001:] yeah exactly
[speaker002:] because they have mixed metals or something
[speaker001:] um-hum yep well anything else
[speaker002:] well no not really
[speaker001:] well reduce reuse and recycle right
[speaker002:] right words to live by
[speaker001:] that's right I try to remember them I guess we've covered it
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] it was nice talking to you bye-bye now
[speaker002:] you too bye-bye
