Coming from the US (Oregon, specifically), we're using to recycling a good deal of waste (pop cans, empty canned food cans, plastic bottles, cardboard, etc). I'm not sure that there is recycling done here as we haven't seen any sort of container for it in our building's waste collection room. But I don't want to assume anything so can anyone tell me if recycling is a common practice here?
Also, we ususally donate clothes that we no longer wear to the Salvation Army or Goodwill back at home. Does anyone know of a company here who will pick up used clothing items and redistribute it to people who may need it, like the homeless?
Many thanks.
