It just makes everything more complicated, but at the end of the day I realized how much trash really is recyclable. When did this come into effect? Is it for ETERNITY?!!!!

Yeah seriously. People think they are doing a good thing when they see 24 empty water bottles in the recycling bin. 1 nalgene and a tap is a much better solution.
It seems like people in other parts of the world are a lot better at reusing things they already have.

Yes, I've always thought recycling to be very complicated.

And it's only gotten more complicated what with the green bins and everything now.

Not in many (most?? i'm not sure) states.
I can speak to a several personally where i have friends and family living...
the worst ive encountered has to be NC though!
recycling is like NON-EXISTENT.
do you know how wrong it feels after a massive, massive night of quality drinking with friends to go to the garbage can/basket the next morning and see it full of 50-100 beer cans (and bottles)??!!!
IT WAS SHOCKING and i hafta say kinda disgusting for me to behold.
Not only dont either their ABC Stores (etc.) take back their cans/bottles (or if they do in fact, then its just the case that the majority of the population never goes to the trouble to do it), but there is no recycling program in place to collect the cans/bottles anyways.
so yup, all that crap goes into the landfill.
the thought of that really bothers me. think of all the alcohol cans and bottles that get consumed each and every night by us... esp on fri and saturdays....

Guys, if you find recycling 'complicated' then you need some fucking help (not just with recycling). Think about how much time you spend buying those products, choosing between brands, sizes, and quantities. Now just take a bit of that effort to dispose of the waste you created. Not hard.

what do you do with batteries and aerosol cans?? Recycle? Regular garbage? Something else??

I dunno about aerosol cans, since I dont use them.
With batteries, I take them to school, because we have a battery recycling program there. You can try Canadian Tire, because I think they may infact handle that sort of thing.
