I love surprises. Some day I hope to be surprised to find I’m not the only one with reusable bags in a Target store. Today, I was surprised to see a #2 resin identification code on the handle of my bright red cart. I looked around, and they were everywhere. All the plastic on the cart could be removed and taken to a Charleston County Recycling drop site. Cool.

If you work at a lcoal Target or have an ear with someone who does, ask them how many carts they discard each year, and whether or not they recycle the #2 materials. I know it’s kind of obsessive to advocate the reclamation of material like this, but every little bit helps. That’s what surprising recyclables is all about - imaging a world where most materials can be reclaimed.
