   okay. 
   i don't think a 30 gallon container is right for 
composting, seems smaller would be better, yes? no? 
   looks like 
* 1 30 gallon container for aluminum cans 
* 1 30 gallon container for paper 
* 1 30 gallon container for glass bottles and only glass bottles 
* some size container for composting 
* other 30 gallon containers, maybe for other glass stuff, 
ferrous metals...? 

   there's a "regular" trash can? 

   i'll try to check prices today.
