Today I crossed a major chore off my list doing the recycling.  That meant putting some order to the big box of coffee jars I have been saving and finally getting them out of the house and getting them one step someone who can use them.

A few months back, I was shopping with Dennis at The Greenhouse and I noticed that someone was packaging their product in Nescafe Dolca Jars. Right away I asked the owner Evelia Flores if she could put me in touch with the woman so I could start getting her our jars. I figured may as well try and keep them out of the ground a bit longer.  Evelia did not have her number but told me if I brought them to the store, she would help them get to the right place. When Dick and I turned up today was a big box full she was surprised that tacoboy and I drank so much coffee between the two of us and happy that she was able to help my recycling.

For those of you who want more info on The Greenhouse store, it is a great place to shop on middle street. They carry a wide range of local and imported specialty items, fresh herbs, lots of spices, freezer and fridge options. They also offer  and a large selection of fruits and vegetables, you are almost always guaranteed to find good lettuce here. Fresh stock arrives weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

As you can see from the pictures below, some people are starting to practice recycling. The Belikin depot will take plastic pop bottles and do a nickle credit on them, I think they take back small water too but do not pay out for those. The Large 5 gallon jugs are worth $25 BZD.
