[speaker001:] okay so I guess it starts recording now
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] I don't know really know that much about the recycling in this area that we're in we live in the Saginaw area
[speaker002:] Saginaw
[speaker001:] um-hum and I'm not real familiar with uh anything that I in fact the far as I know the school doesn't have any kind of programs or anything out here and uh or the grocery story or anything in this area yeah
[speaker002:] really the recycling we live in Plano and they started off recycling by um putting the I think at each Wal-Mart they had some recycling dumpsters and things like that which it now I guess the uh city has has bought these big green trash cans and uh we they have a recycling truck that comes around now and you separate your glass and paper
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh aluminum and you set it out and they pick it up and it it works real neat they seem to be having a real good response
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] but
[speaker001:] that is pretty good I'm we're originally from another state and I know in the state we were from that they did that type similar type thing the city brought out you know separate trash separate trash cans and you separated your stuff and you put it in there and they took it you know
[speaker002:] did they did they like on bottles did they give you a so many cents back for
[speaker001:] I don't really know I don't really know they they started after we moved down here and so I I'm not really familiar I just know that and my in-laws up in up in Oklahoma that's how they do you know they pick it up but I don't know if they get a
[speaker002:] for cans even I've seen that in really
[speaker001:] get anything back on it or do you get money for it
[speaker002:] no I've just I noticed in Iowa and other cities like that it's a nickel per aluminum can
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] so you don't see too many thrown out around the streets
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] even bottles you know all kinds of bottles they they they really charge people to uh I guess when you purchase them and and then when you turn them back in
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] I know I remember the old days as a kid where a bottle was a nickel and
[speaker001:] right and now now most of them are the throwaway
[speaker002:] right so maybe that's one thing they could do to
[speaker001:] and yeah I think now they're a lot more expensive than that um I bought some Cokes the other day in the bread the little bottles
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know and I think the bottles were like I know they were at least ten cents apiece I was trying to figure out how I was like God how much were those bottles you know and it was they come in like uh eight and and eight and ten packs you know
[speaker002:] well that's right
[speaker001:] instead of six packs and uh and they were like it was like two dollars and something for the bottles you know I was like God Almighty costs more for the bottles than it did for the Cokes
[speaker002:] that was my brother's first job in a grocery store he was in the bottle area
[speaker001:] we're gonna bump our heads what a job
[speaker002:] it's pretty dangerous out there you know when they fall over but but it's uh
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] it's quite they say that the green glass now that there's a big glut
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] of green
[speaker001:] of green glass
[speaker002:] with the green glass yeah it's amazing
[speaker001:] uh well out in this area they really don't have anything now I know that like Minyard's
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and places like that around like Arlington and Fort Worth and a lot of those grocery stores they have like four different bins out front
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] yeah different colors for different things and and things like that but I I did know some of these places were doing that and they discontinued them because people coming and dumping their trash in them
[speaker002:] right yeah it's I notice the plastics have sort of faded away the milk jugs it it's
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] people just they they really don't uh there's too much labor involved I guess to separate the stuff
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] yeah it's I don't know it it can be it's not as easy
[speaker001:] more than it's worth
[speaker002:] collecting you know clean junk as they say
[speaker001:] right right well who wants to clean their junk before they throw it away
[speaker002:] that's right that's right it's like washing the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher
[speaker001:] right I know
[speaker002:] we all do it well it was nice talking to you
[speaker001:] it was nice talking to you I have no idea how long this is supposed to last or anything
[speaker002:] well I think I think two or three minutes is fine and yeah
[speaker001:] it is that it okay well it was nice talking to you and I I guess I'll do this for I was doing this from actually I was gonna do it for my son so that he could uh he he's in high school so that he could uh make some money
