Good job! Lol

I felt like I was in 3rd grade again....

yes indeed

The bin is always full of stuff in plastic bags.

Those things are 99.9999% non-recyclable.
Well, so is 93% of all plastic.
That's why I use a reusable grocery bag. And, why I strongly propose a return to paper (like the old milk cartons) for practically every liquid product sold.

Just curious, because we've got a sticker on our house recycling bin with the "no-nos" spelled out.
People wouldn't make such mistakes if they simply put an appropriate label on the bin.

recycling and I did what I thought was the same. However, where I am living now is in Wallingford, not New Haven, so new rules applied. I did my best...

Glass is one of the most efficiently recycled items there is. It takes less energy per unit mass to melt & reuse glass than it does to fuse silica.
This is an odd decision.

My bad for not thinking of it...
