Around here ( texas ) no.

When I lived in NY yeah, you could do the $0.05 thing with bottles/cans and other things.

Nope. Recycle thing is all the way at the top of the apartment complex (it goes up a hill) and trash thing is literally right outside my door (okay not that literally)... laziness wins on me not wanting to load my car up and drive up there. I do return cans and bottles, but I don't consider that recycling... more like getting my money back.

nope, we don't do that in BFE

dump everything in a big hole in the ground

some of my neighbors have burn barrels and burn most of their garbage and only take stuff to the dump a few times a year

I recycle everything possible. 1 bin for plastic/glass, 1 bin for paper products. Our landfills will not technically take recyclable items.

Al cans, yes..... paper, no.... glass bottles/plastics, depends on my mood.

Why do i not recycle paper? Its bad for the environment and most paper bought today comes from tree farm specifically planted for paper, so you are not really saving any more old forests by recycling paper.

hell no. it cost more to recycle than producing a new one. recycling does not make economics sense.
