[speaker002:] I'll talk about my city a little bit
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] I've noticed that there's actually being uh quite there's been a quite a bit done uh I noticed that uh the uh several of my uh uh grocery stores have been putting up signs that plastic bags and uh trying to recycle the uh gallon uh containers
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] so I I'm beginning to see some uh real positive effects I mean huh although I won't claim that that the that that we're doing everything and it's uh you know I I try to recycle uh papers and cans
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum what about glass they have glass
[speaker002:] uh I have not seen a whole lot of glass but the same time in this area at least when it comes to like uh Coke and Pepsi uh they don't really hardly use any glass
[speaker001:] huh so they know um here they have um they have trash sorting
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] um I mean not not right here where I am but in the in the town next door they have um they have trash sorting and you know they put out aluminum and glass and newspaper in separate bins
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and uh I guess there's a lot of raiding by homeless people and that kind of thing because they go out and it's like they they pay for this by the by the by the aluminum they collect
[speaker002:] right right well I I know that uh uh that's that one thing that uh they're not real good about yet is it seems like the paper sorting you still we still are forced pretty much to take everything in you know we don't really have any help from the sanitation department
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] so the life is not easy in that way we still have to kind of take care of our own aluminum uh so it's still up to the individual it's it's not really part of any uh a government sponsored programs or anything
[speaker001:] I see so so um do you actually live in Atlanta
[speaker002:] uh yeah uh pretty much I I really don't live in the same county as what you'd call Atlanta central but there's several counties that count as Atlanta
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I know the cities are um I think Dekalb
[speaker002:] you well that's Dekalb actually it's you're right it's spelled that way D D E C A L B but that that's Dekalb
[speaker001:] Dekalb yeah Dekalb and Fulton I thought it was I thought it was a K I always thought it was a K but um never mind um and uh isn't Fulton what another county that's uh
[speaker002:] right Fulton and actually also contained in that is Cobb and also contained in that uh to to some extent is Clayton county although it's pretty much uh still in the Atlanta proper
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum huh
[speaker002:] uh but there's no concentrated concept uh on that sense uh we have uh
[speaker001:] now where's the city the city limits it's kind of odd that a city would actually spread over uh more than one county the city limits would actually fall into more than one county
[speaker002:] yeah the the the central uh part of the city the downtown area is in Fulton almost exclusively
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] uh but yeah I mean I I most cities tend to stay mostly mostly in in in one county so you know
[speaker001:] yeah in fact San Francisco is entirely within the the the limits of San Francisco County in fact San Francisco County and city have the same city limits so that's kind of a weird thing but um
[speaker002:] right anyways I guess I'm trying to figure out what else there is out here I mean oh we do get papers uh we get we get some help with the papers uh our our our uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh trash company does do a a uh uh if if you sort the papers and and put them in a bag they will put them in a separate area into into the uh uh uh garbage garbage truck I guess I don't know exactly how they do it but they do that
[speaker001:] yeah that's an interesting term because I mean if you if you think about it's the garbage truck well is it really garbage if they're taking it off to be recycled and somebody's willing to pay for it
[speaker002:] well it pretty well the the I guess it is in in in that sense uh it still is uh I don't I uh
[speaker001:] huh
[speaker002:] the uh the papers themselves I mean they some how put them off to the side and I don't know exactly how they do it uh but they but they they do indicate that service
[speaker001:] huh
[speaker002:] I think that we you know I think they ought to really start pushing it more you know the idea that you were talking about where they they separate each each container
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] that that should be more available we should have more containers in all city uh uh and all the grocery stores
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] uh to help on on that sort of thing that would that would make it a lot easier I know in uh some cities that they actually distribute out they as part of the the service they give you extra containers that you can that you can put things into so you you know you don't have to go out and buy your own garbage cans and things like that
[speaker001:] huh huh you have a you have a very uh distinctive accent um where're you from originally
[speaker002:] well I'm actually originally from Dayton Ohio
[speaker001:] no kidding
[speaker002:] but that's
