Sitting in the garbage can at work was a cardboard package for tea. I exclaimed, “What! This can be recycled!” and fished it out of the garbage. Continuing to make my tea, I almost threw out my empty sugar packet when I realized that also can be recycled!
Please! Recycle your empty sugar packets.
Here’s other recycling posts from spudart.org:
- Why do you never see the recycle guys and the garbage men together at the same time?
- We need more mens’ colors for reusable bags
- Would a Chicago 2016 Olympics recycle London’s arena from 2012?
- Cool inventions like a dual garbage/recycling can
- Using alleys to fight heat, water runoff
- How are you being environmental?

Sugar packets! Nice call! I wish my building recycled. Heck! I wish the city recycled. I really want them to develop a REAL plan that works! No more building warehouses to house newspapers. No more LIES in MY building about the giant trash can for “Glass Recycling”. We can do better! By the way, I don’t get nearly as many comments on my orange reusable bags as I did on my blue ones (!)
Equal is not sugar
@sparxmind you can recycle equal packets too. @tomsaaristo where do you use your orange recycle bags? Ooooh You mean your reusable bags. Duh! I read them as recycle bags. But they are the orange reusable bags! I know what you are talking about! Wait. So more people commented on the blue resuable bags than the orange ones? That’s shocking. The orange is a burnt orange… was the blue a bright blue?
Every little bit counts! Way to get into that mindset. I guess little things like price tags from clothing can also be recycled… hmm My stepbrother is so good at recycling (and not buying things that come in excessive packaging) that he said he normally only has one tiny shopping bag of trash for an entire month. He’s willing to make trips on his own to recycling collection places, though – most people probably aren’t willing to go that far out of their way. There’s no recycling collection here at all – that’s on my wish list for wherever I move next!
bohzo (hello) Recycling is so important, I like this blog very much. Megwetch (Thank You) for sharing your blog. Have a great day!
I “reuse” sugar packets by collecting them! Have you ever thought about like the meters of paper that is used to make all that sugar packets? a regular sugar packet has like 67 cm^2 of paper.. my collection has 2000 packets.. so i’ve saved 1340 meters of paper that probablly would not be recicled or anything.. plz visit http://www.sugar—sugar.blogspot.com

LAL! 🙂 ToSa: Laughing at Laughing LeHa: I’m reminded of that annoying lady who does the platform announcements for the CTA and screeches out the word “kiosk.” Our colleague Dave talked about the Chicago accent in a podcast a couple of years ago: http://chicagoscope.com/index.php?post_id=142971 Spudart: I like these, Laugh All Loud. And Laughing At Laughing. Thanks! Oooo Leigh! i need to re-listen to that one! WiPa: This episode was on last night on MeToo – and guess what Data’s daughter is named?
