However, what about the more rural areas of Alabama that are not graced with this easy pick-up service? Evidently the writer isn't too embarrassed since he publicly posted this blog with his name and photo alongside it.

Back home in bama, there is WEEKLY recycling pick-up in my town. I agree, it probably is the 48th greenest state in the U.S., but recycling really isn't that hard; have you ever thought of asking your neighbor or roommate? Or are you too embarrassed that you never learned how to recycle? I hear your constructive criticism that some people just don't know how to recycle, but it's not hard to figure it out, if you take a little time to find some answers.

We DO have recycling bins here in your home town and they are so popular that I have driven around with cardboard boxes in my vehicle for weeks waiting for a space to open up in one. I would have expected the "overcrowding" problem to lead to additional recycling receptacles but alas, the problem of people leaving their cardboard boxes outside of the full receptacle led to the removal of the only one within a 5 mile radius of my home. Okay, I guess you're right. We don't have them. Good column. As an Alabamian still residing in the Heart of Dixie I must take exception to your column.

Glad you addressed the fact that you're not lazy, just confused. I feel that way as well. Hilarious links. Alabama, wow. Haha, I thought I was the only one with this problem.
