[speaker001:] Okay, so I guess it starts recording now.
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker001:] Okay. 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:] Uh-huh. And I'm not real familiar with, uh, anything that, I, fact as far as I know, the school doesn't have any kind of programs or anything out here. And, uh, or the grocery store or anything [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] Really?
[speaker001:] in this area, yeah.
[speaker002:] The rec-, we live in Plano and they started off recycling by, uh, putting the, I think at each Wal-Mart, they had some recycling dumpsters and things like that, which now, I guess the, uh, city is, has bought the 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:] So,
[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 t-, similar type thing. The city brought ought, you know, set tr-, 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.
[speaker002:] for cans even or,
[speaker001:] I don't really know, they, they started after we moved down here and so
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I, I'm not really familiar. I just know that, uh, 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, get anything back on it or, do you get money for it?
[speaker002:] No, I just, I noticed it 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 [LAUGHTER] streets.
[speaker001:] Really [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Or even bottles.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] You know, all kinds of bottles they, they, they really charge people to, I guess when you purchase them and, and then when you turn them back in.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] I n-, I remember the old days as a kid where bottle was a nickel.
[speaker001:] Right. And now, now most of them are throwaway.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] So, maybe that's one thing they can do.
[speaker001:] I think now they're a lot more expensive than that. Uh, I bought some Cokes the other day in the br-, the little bottles
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, and I think the bottles were like, I know they were at least ten cents apiece. I started to see, at home, I was like, God, how much were those bottles [LAUGHTER] you know? [like as verb of saying!]
[speaker002:] Yes.
[speaker001:] And, it was, they come in like, uh, eight and, and eight and ten packs, you know
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] instead of six packs and, uh, and they were like, it was like two dollars and something for the bottles. [LAUGHTER] You know, I was like God Almighty, it 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 [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] In the bot-, [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] It's pretty dangerous out there, you know, when they fall over, but
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] but it's, uh, 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:] the green glass, yeah. It's amazing.
[speaker001:] 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:] Uh, different colors for different things and, and things like that, but I, I do know some of these places were doing that and they discontinued them because people were coming and dumping their trash in them.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] [Breathing].
[speaker002:] Yeah it's, I notice the plastic have sort of faded away, the milk jugs.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] It, it's, people just, they, they really don't, uh, there's too much labor involved I guess to separate the stuff.
[speaker001:] Yeah, more than it's worth.
[speaker002:] It's, I don't know, it, it can be, it's not as easy [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] selecting, you know, clean junk as they say.
[speaker001:] Right. Well, who wants to clean their junk before they throw it away [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] That's right, that's right. It's like washing the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Right, uh, yeah.
[speaker002:] We all do it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] 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:] Oh, I think, I think two or three minutes is
[speaker001:] I-,
[speaker002:] fine.
[speaker001:] Is that it?
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Okay, well, it was nice talking to you and I, I guess I'll do this for, I was doing this for, actually, I was going to do it for my son so that he could, uh, he, he's in high school, so that he could make some money.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] Uh, but then it has my name on it, so I'm like, okay, I'll sit down here and call it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, we're doing it for a church choir so,
[speaker001:] Oh, are you?
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Oh, that's interesting.
[speaker002:] So,
[speaker001:] That's nice. Well,
[speaker002:] Well, thank you.
[speaker001:] Thank you. Bye.
[speaker002:] Bye-bye.
