The City of Thornton makes recycling a breeze

Did you make a New Year's resolution this year? Recycling more can be a great resolution to make. Helping the environment is never a bad thing and teaching our children to take care of the planet is an added bonus. Even better news is some cities are making it easier to recycle.

Here in Thornton, Colo. the city has made recycling easier with their one-container recycling program. This means no sorting on your behalf just place any of the accepted items in the one recycling bin and they will do the sorting for you. That means that the excuse, that it just takes too long, no longer exists.

They have also started bi-monthly recycling pick up and they have locations around the city that you can take your recycling too. This can be handy if you live in an apartment complex that doesn't offer recycling bins.
