Chatting with a friend about throwing plastic bottles out the window into her recycling bin (and missing). And a friend of hers who has a house on a hill: so their recycling bins are directly beneath the deck and they can drop bottles down a chute into the bins. Brainstorming ways to rig a carriage & basket down from a kitchen to the bins across the yard to be able to roll your recycling down a chute/rail and have it tip over into the bin automatically. And realising that this would be a major patchwork & hack job.

the architecture of homes influences recycling practices. are there common pathways we can optimize? can we build fun recycling experiences into the home? what about dumbwaiters for your glass bottles? what architectural principles would make a home conducive to recycling?
