Welcome to the Ultimate Guide to Recycling ♻️

Understanding Recycling

Recycling helps reduce waste in landfills and conserve natural resources. Learn the basics here, and participate in community efforts to make a lasting impact.

How to Recycle

1. Sort your waste: separate paper, plastics, metals, and glass.
2. Clean items: ensure all recyclables are free of food residue.
3. Check local guidelines: recycling rules can vary by location.

Common Recycling Mistakes

• Recycling plastic bags: they can jam recycling machines. Instead, reuse them or drop them off at collection bins in stores.
• Throwing in items with food waste: contaminants can spoil a whole batch of recyclables.
• Assuming all plastics are recyclable: check the recycling symbol and local guidelines.
