    I’ve gotten some interesting emails after posting this blog. One individual claims that since my introduction, she is now dating a receptacle. 🙂

    Others were not quite so positive, so I’ve encouraged them to post their comments here so we can dialogue about possible solutions to their concerns. I, personally don’t have a problem with the trash sorting, and I applaud the well-intentioned efforts to save money, however, there may be a few flaws. What are your ideas to make this better?
