As we approach America Recycles Day, which will be observed on Thursday (15 November), the event’s sponsors offer a number of tips related to recycling. These tips include:
- Plastic bag and film recycling doesn’t stop with grocery bags. Recycle your dry cleaning, newspaper, & bread bags and also the plastic film on products like paper towels.
- When it comes to recycling,every community is different. Do some research to make sure you’re recycling all the materials accepted in your community.
- Half is better than none! Although you can’t recycle your whole pizza box, you can tear off and recycle the top half, as long as it’s grease-free. As always, check with your local solid waste and recycling office to be sure.
- What you don’t put in your recycling bin is just as important as what you do recycle. Know what’s recyclable in your community so you don’t contaminate the recycling process. Check with your local recycling and solid waste office for details on your community recycling program.
- Recycling: it’s not just in the kitchen. Don’t trash your and shampoo bottles and toilet paper rolls just because they’re in the bathroom!
- Don’t exclude your food. Not ready to dive into composting just yet? Toss your egg shells and coffee grounds into the garden instead of the trash. You’ll be diverting a little waste and enriching your soil at the same time.
