So here I sit in a hotel room in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. By my feet, at my desk, are a trash basket and a recyling can. The last hotel I stayed in in Tornoto had a recyling bin too. So why can't the US hotels do this?
I have asked various hotels over the years why we do not have recycling in the hotels in the US. I was told "We can't ask our guests to do that--it would inconvenient them!"
In NJ where I currently live, recycling is mandatory and yet the hotels do not have it in their rooms or common areas. Most people are "trained" to a certain extent to recycle. If there is a bin in the room how hard can this be?
For me I frequently find myself taking "USA Today" and plastic water bottles home with me so they can be recycled. That's inconvenience!
