Where I live we don't have to sort it. However, at work sometimes I will drop off discarded items at a city drop off site. I don't go nuts with it though~

I don't recycle my trash. I do reuse anything that's reusable. I used to separate aluminum cans, but that's a pain in the butt, not worth the space it takes to store them. We don't have recycling pick up here, so taking it to a recycling center would mean an extra trip, kinda defeats the purpose.
Yep I recycle as much as I can.. in fact I just came back from the recycle place.. pitch black.. pouring rain.. standing there trying to put it all into the different (giant) containers.
Just throw the alum cans in the driveway and when they're all flattened from the cars they will take up only about 10% of the space.
I recycle everything, always and wind up with only about 1 small bag of garbage per week. The people downstairs dont recycle anything and they produce about 5 large bags of garbage in the same time frame. I also use up a lot of junk mail and cereal boxes for starting fires in my wood stove.
