Yeah, we have the same power problems(I live on the highest point of land for several miles in any direction), so we have a whole house generator and another portable. Recycling - they will take a plastic milk carton, but not a styrofoam egg carton

And they ask the residents in these "Styx"(nicely but regularly) to not run any outside lights after 10 pm and have motion activated security lights set to run no longer than 1 minute, to preserve the country atmosphere. I actually kind of like that, we can see hundreds of stars without the background light.
