Life with Four Men - House Rule #2

Are you enjoying these? Please tell me you are!

I was too busy yesterday to get one of these posted. Hubby and I went out for our weekly dinner date and then a good friend called to go walking. Thereafter, I was just burnt out for one day!

Am I allowed?

How many of you have this problem? Probably not many. We have an awesome city that picks up recyclables at the end of the street as a substitution for one trash day. However, they have to be bagged and sorted correctly. My men often refuse to work with the system -- even the oldest one. He recently declared to me he wasn't "doing it that way any more," indicating that he was doing it right now. Oh, great! The leader of the pack has finally changed his ways! Do you think the others may, just may, finally follow suit now? Sigh.

HOUSE RULE #2

All recyclables must be put in the appropriate bin after being cleaned. NO ITEMS ARE TO BE PLACED ON TOP OF THE BIN OR ON THE FLOOR OR COUNTER OR TABLE OR ANYWHERE ELSE. If an item does not fit in a bin, then put it with other items of the same material in a plastic bag and throw it on the carport.

a. All caps must be removed (except bleach, detergent, and oil bottles that make leak harmful stuff).

b. Absolutely no restaurant carry-in pizza boxes are recyclable….they must go in the trash.

This rule is subject to additional rules.
