[speaker001:] well um I live at the beach and
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and we don't really have a lot of recycling here
[speaker002:] well yeah
[speaker001:] but you have do you have a lot in Rochester
[speaker002:] we have a lot of recycling in Rochester they do uh what they call curb side pick up
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] and so they come by and they'll pick up uh the newspapers and cardboard and uh different colors of glass and uh see what else tin cans and uh plastic like you know your milk jugs and you know soap soap soap bottle uh jugs and all that type of stuff
[speaker001:] oh so they just pick up everything
[speaker002:] yeah so do they do any uh any sort of recycling back down where you are
[speaker001:] well I think they do some voluntary on the beach but I live in apartments and we don't have it here
[speaker002:] um-hum okay
[speaker001:] um in Wilmington they have it there more I think and that's like the big town near us
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but um I really wish they would have it
[speaker002:] okay do uh I mean what do you think they ought to be doing down there in terms of doing more recycling and things like that
[speaker001:] well sometimes I don't feel so bad I mean it's really I mean it this is really sad too because we have a big dumpster at our apartments and there's this little man that goes through our trash all the time to get the cans out
[speaker002:] um-hum oh wow that's really unfortunate
[speaker001:] I know
[speaker002:] well they do a whole lot of recycling here in Rochester I'm kind of hard pressed to say they ought to do more because I don't know what else they'd pick up I mean you know they they say things like you know they want all the little uh you know those little recycling symbols like the number ones and the number twos and all those things
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] well they you know they say they'll pick up anything with number two but they guys who are uh picking it up are are kind of I don't know I guess they aren't well trained because like they say they also say they won't pick up you know the you know like you buy a uh uh uh a six pack of pop and you know the plastic rings that they come in
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] well nowadays those are coming with a little recycling symbol on them you know with the number two but they won't pick it up because they say well no we don't pick up that we only pick up you know like the milk jugs and soap jugs and stuff like that so I think they could be doing more if they here in Rochester if they just uh quit doing uh you know so much based on what the container is in terms on what used to have in it or something and if they did more on you know what the material is
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] so uh I don't know so they don't do any recycling hardly at all down there
[speaker001:] well I mean they do some but none of it's mandatory
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and like I said I live in an apartment complex
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and so they don't do it for us
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] but some of the houses I've seen some of the bins around some of the houses
[speaker002:] okay well do you have any place you could take stuff if you wanted to
[speaker001:] there is a place but it's in Wilmington
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] and so it's like a a big hassle you know to try to get everything together and I mean uh you'd have to save it up and have all that stuff lying around your apartment
[speaker002:] yeah yeah well that's wild I mean like well how far is Wilmington from there
[speaker001:] it's um about twenty minutes
[speaker002:] oh wow so you'd have to get everything together and take it over there that'd be a real pain they ought to do the curb side stuff
[speaker001:] um-hum I know but I just think it's it must be hard to do in an apartment thing like this
[speaker002:] they do it here I mean they they have it here in Rochester in the apartments and people you know they have to do some special stuff but you know the apartment complex it's not the city see here in Rochester the city does it
[speaker001:] really um-hum
[speaker002:] it would like I I own my own house so the city comes by and they pick up you know the stuff on the same day they pick up the trash but for the apartments all the apartment places you know pay somebody to pick up all the trash and so the apartment people you know the the the waste disposal people have to come up with their own system but we passed a law here and they said you just got to do it there's no choice because all the you know all the landfills up here are full
[speaker001:] yeah now see that I think that's why it's not as strict in the south it's because we still have have a lot of land left
[speaker002:] yeah oh wow
[speaker001:] so I mean but I mean people do need to realize that that there's not always going to be land
[speaker002:] but that's going to change yeah yeah that's going to change at some point you know a couple of years ago nobody around here talked about it and then one day everybody just kind of woke up and said gee you know we're we're in trouble and we got to fix this problem
[speaker001:] um-hum but I know I went to see my brother in Philadelphia in May and he
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] was in a voluntary program
[speaker002:] um-hum
