Cardboard that wouldn’t fit in my full recycle pick up bin since I was out of town two weeks ago when they last came. Trash is weekly but blue bin recyclables is every other week. Then I had a bag of drop off plastics that pick up doesn’t take and glass bottles. I dropped off all three categories at a location not too far away that had huge dumpsters for each. Felt good to get that overdue task done.
