a fantastic thing about our apartment

We don't have to separate our recyclables--the building pays the waste company to separate it for us. So our trash is recycled, but we don't have to think about it! We don't have to have 3 separate containers for trash, plastic, and paper, and since our one trash can is now padded with plastic and paper it gets tossed out very regularly and never reaches the point where it smells. Awesome.
