got it. I kinda followed the energy to recycle argument and leapt to a conclusion...and that's why I splatted on a wall!
depends on how much space you need. If you trudge down there weekly, you need three-four beer boxes in the garage or a spare room. Does the city provide trash (usually on the water bill) or do you have private companies that you pay? If its a private co, see if they offer curbside pick up. Have a shed? ohhh boy, you can wait til the struts strain on the car. design a simple system. and get a can crusher if you do aluminum. saves ooodles of space.
