Not to brag, but San Francisco and Alameda counties have pretty awesome recycling programs. We get a big barrel for recycling (no sorting required!), a small barrel for trash (that we often don't fill up on a weekly basis) and a great big green barrel for kitchen scraps and greens. The county even dropped off a nifty mini green container for our kitchen. It worked for a while, but we're lazy and klutzy and we get tired of the mess we make while transferring scraps from chopping board to bin. Did we mention we're lazy? We think we may have found a nice solution to our *ahem* issues...check below the jump for more details.
