We don't have any separate containers for anything recyclable.

Wow. All your lego boxes go to landfill?

That blows my mind that California of all places doesn't do separate bins.

Yeah, I throw away a MASSIVE amount of cardboard. I mean, I average one order per day from just Amazon. I wish they offered recycling. I recycle ALL of my bottles and cans.

That's retarded. HOA contracted waste management?

It's good you would let them soak in the toilet bowl first. Shows an effort to wait until they're soft and weak enough. Heck at first I thought you were planning to just crumple it, throw it in and flush.

I’ve never met anyone who actually recycles toilet paper rolls

Now you have.

Recycling bin FTW!

Imagine your obituary “ in his spare time he soaked & tore empty toilet paper rolls so he could flush them away”

Lol carve it on his tombstone.

You can also save them and use them to store various electrical cords, but otherwise yeah I recycle those and anything else that isn't against the recycler rules.

Seems like so much more effort to soak and flush for no gain... waste of time and water, very odd. Just trash’em or recycle’em.

didn't even read t his thread, but fuck off with toilet rolls.

What kind of savage flushes toilet paper rolls?

Must be his contract. I had mandated recycling, garbage, and yard waste bins. Plenty of cardboard is recycled all over CA, I'm just guessing that madoka was banned by the local waste collector after his LEGO boxes overloaded and broke two of their processing machines.

What the hell is the matter with you?

 

[chitwood]

it frightens me to think of what other items you flush down your toilet, OP

 

[rh71]

wow, is there no garbage pail in your bathroom?

 

[nakedfrog]

Is this just some novel form of trolling? Why would this notion occur to anyone?
+1 for recycle bin. And I live in fucking Nebraska. We didn't have recycle bin here until like six years ago.

 

[vi edit]

This is pretty much my reaction to this question:

 

[dank69]

That is a lot of extra effort to avoid recycling.

 

[OutHouse]

OP was this a learned behavior from your parents? ive never heard of ANYBODY doing what you do with the rolls.

 

[Paratus]

I knew the OP was out there based on his P&N posts but I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole went until now.

I'm thinking (hoping, really) that this is a troll thread.

What did they use the rolls for before toilet paper was invented?

How can they call themselves a recycling company when they don't appear to recycle anything?

Mine has a large container for paper/cardboard/plastic/tin cans that's picked up every couple weeks as well as a smaller container for glass that I put out whenever it's filled with bourbon bottles.

Toilet papyrus.
