We don't have an effective municipal recycling effort, but I try to recycle 100%. My bins take up the closet in the guest bedroom. About once a month I put them all in the car and drive to the recycling center.

I am surprised that your condo building / complex lacks recycling / etc - I feel that one condo benefit is for the monthly fee that covers certain inconveniences such as recycling collection / etc.
i think a garbage disposal is very useful - we’ve had ours since 2009 and only rarely have needed to press the reset button below the disposal machine. We also have a dishwasher but I think both appliances are great without each other.
