What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

One plastic product that is very hard to say no to and it is also hard to recycle is prescription bottles! I have tried bringing my own clean bottles to my pharmacy to refill them (That is what they actually are, right?) and it is just a constant NO. The pharmaceutical industry needs to help us here! The plastic they are produced with is very hard to recycle!
