Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- recycling bins
- organizational skills
-
Step 1
Get recycling bins from your trash company.
-
Step 2
Decide how you will organize the collection of paper, plastic, and glass during the week. I keep old crates and just throw the waste in them until I get ready to sort them for pick up.
-
Step 3
For newspapers, I take them to the local elementary school and deposit them in the paper collecting bin that is on the parking lot. It is accesible 24 hours/7 days a week. There is no excuse not to recycle your old newspapers and magazines.
-
Step 4
Never use styrofoam cups. If you are a coffee drinker, use your own ceramic cup or keep paper cups handy. Don't forget to recycle the paper cups.
-
Step 5
Whenever possible, purchase products that have been recycled: greeting cards are a good example.
