If you are really interested in recycling, there are some alternatives to a dumpster. We donate to thrift stores a lot. Some places will even pick things up. Big Brothers Big Sisters picks up donated items periodically in our neighborhood. You can also write off your donations on your taxes. My husband says that it makes more sense financially to donate items to a charity thrift store than to have a garage sale. Also, if you have structural things like tiles, tubs, windows, etc., you can take them to Habitat Restore (by World's of Fun). They will resell it cheap and use the profit for building homes for Habitat for Humanity.
