Recycle Kansas City

As I resident of Kansas City, MO, I know garbage day sucks. Two bag minimum outside of garbage cans so the animals are free to rip into them. Then these recycle bins that blow down your street on a windy day only to never find them again. At least it's free (taxes) I suppose. I remember when they started with these recycle bins and the first trash day I had put a glass bottle in the recycle bins and they didn't pick it up. This means that my two bags of trash, that can only be 50 lbs, are heavy as hell because I have to put all my glass bottles into them.

Well not anymore. The good people at Ripple Glass (pretty much the Boulevard guys) are making it possible to take your glass to man convenient locations and should be opening up within the next month or so.

Of course you could always just donate your rare bottles to my 700+ collection.

The Collection

As a first post, I decided to show my average sized bottle collection. I started this collection in March of 07. My goal was to build a basement ceiling border and fill it up for aesthetics. I completed the collection in March of 08. Ever since then I've been collecting one-offs to complete the specific brewers collections. I do drink most all of them instead of leaving the beer in them like most collectors. Why waste a beer?

I have a need/have list that eventually will be moving to ratebeer.com. Mostly I'm just trying to complete the collections of Sam Adams, Boulevard and Schlafly.
