Is it really that hard? Is it?

Why is it that no one can seem to reach the recycle bin but me?  WHY?!  Especially because HALF of my family of six is taller than me, not that that matters.  So our city offers curb side recycling...nice feature, doesn't cost me anything extra, makes me feel good about doing SOMEthing for the planet....yea go for it.   The recycling bin sits outside the main entrance to our house, and about 10 feet from the kitchen sink. Now don't get me wrong, no one has a problem leaving the recyclables in the sink for me to rinse and put in the bin...at least they can handle that.  However!  I seem to be the only one that can fathom rinsing said articles and placing them in the bin.   I told(maybe hollered would be a better word) my husband about it, because he likes to eat tortilla chips and salsa for a snack, usually finishes off the salsa and then will NOT rinse it out but put the cap back on and leave it on the counter.  GRRRR!! That makes me mad!  So yea, I hollered about it.   OK so next time he had his late night snack I found the jar rinsed out and set on the counter w/ the lid on.   Well at least there's progress, but it's STILL 10 feet from the recycle bin.   I have 4 kids, two of them are teenage sons that are, like I said, both taller than me.  Again, not that this matters cause the bin sits on the ground.  Anyway, I hollered at them too...so far nothing... I'll let ya know if it changes.  I guess I'll quit buying juice(their favorite thing to use the last of) until they can learn to take care of the empty bottles.  It's really NOT THAT HARD!
