We live in Fairfax County VA but my DH works in Montgomery County.

Fairfax's recycling is horrible--they take no plastics other than certain specific plastic bottles (no plastic fruit "clamshell" containers like berries come in, no food containers of ANY type, etc. etc.).

Montgomery recycles many more types of plastics and DH could take our recyclables to the Montgomery transfer station periodically. But their website says it's for county residents only. I do understand why that's the case. But I also wonder: Is someone going to stop him and check ID or stop him because of his VA plates? I despise the thought of throwing out plastics that could be recycled, and I'm willing to clean and keep them until we have enough to drop off. We do try to buy as few items in plastic packaging as possible, but it's just not feasible to go zero plastic for us right now.

Anyone know if it's going to be an issue to drop off once a month in Montgomery or will they stop him and turn him away at a gate? (Yes, checking Arlington too--though their county website for recycling information is just abysmal and I'm not getting info I need.)[/quote]
