the box of "to-be-recycled"

a few days ago i designated an empty cardboard box as "the box of to-be-recycled". this box is a limbo for recyclable materials that can't yet be recycled but will be at some point. so far, it's has lots of paper, crushed cereal boxes, and empty plastic and glass bottles. over time, i will be able to see how it impacts the amount of trash i take out over the course of a week, since everything in the box would normally be thrown away.
