So much recycling, so few bins

What am I to do? I’m a recycling freak.

I keep four bins in my garage and several at my work locations that I bring home when they are full, and I pick up items from off the street and parking lots. I have filled as many as eight bins (stuffed full). So with the two-bin limit and every other week pick-up, it will take me sometimes two months just to get rid of my recycles or pay more. What is the cost of this?

I guess I need a bigger garage or start throwing it away. Hope I get a bigger trash can.

Way to go, Gulfport!
