Recycling

When I got home from work I thought I would collect all the water bottles in the car and dump them into the recycling bin. Of course this thought occurs to me when the recycling has already been picked up that morning.

I had a handful of bottles, plus the container I took to work for my lunch. It was awkward carrying them and I just sort of let go of everything over the bin. Lunch container included.

I thought about reaching in and getting it, but I didn’t like the smell and the thought of using the container for food now turned my stomach.

So I left it there. At least it is the recycling bin instead of heading to a landfill.
