[Noisebridge-discuss] recyclebridge

[Patrick Keys]

I've already given it some thought:
* Containers should be the big 30-gallon containers so we don't need to 
empty them very often.  Like these:
http://www.pricefalls.com/products/RUBBERMAID-32-GALLON-BLUE-BRUTE-%282632%29/id/12182889

* Containers should be along the east wall by the bathrooms and adjacent 
to the kitchen, so they'll be near the regular trash can.
