Today is Global Recycling Day. It's aimed at promoting the use of recycled materials and offers an opportunity to focus on recycling and its benefits.
Here are 3 recycling tips for a greener home
1. Know What Can & Can’t Be Recycled
Check local recycling guidelines to avoid contaminating the bin. Paper, cardboard, glass, and most plastics (without food residue) are recyclable, but items like greasy pizza boxes, plastic bags and styrofoam often aren’t.
2. Rinse & Dry Before Recycling
Dirty containers can’t be processed properly. Rinse bottles, cans, and jars before tossing them in the bin to prevent contamination.
3. Repurpose Before You Recycle
Get creative! Use glass jars for storage, turn old newspapers into gift wrap, and repurpose cardboard boxes for organizing. Reducing waste is even better than recycling!
