Recycling seems like such a basic thing but many people still don’t do it. Today I wanted to share some tips of things that could be recycled as well as simple plans that can be put into place to recycle more goods.

• Recycling Bins: These are great and many cities already offer them with their trash pick up. This will give you the ability to recycle without having to take the stuff to a special place.
• Use Fact Sheets: Knowledge is power, know what you can recycle. Some of the things that are recyclable are glass, paper products, plastic grocery bags, plastics, aluminum, cardboard, tin cans, scrap metal, motor oil, ink cartridges, household appliances, computer equipment, aseptic packaging, Styrofoam, tires, and athletic shoes.
• Recycle Content: When you go to your favorite retailer, demand products that are made of recycled materials. Make sure you are buying the products that have a higher recycled material content.
• Use Natural Fertilizers: Start you own compose pile and use leaves as fertilizers for your garden and flowers.
• Properly Dispose of Hazardous Waste: Disposing of these dangerous materials is important to keeping the Earth clean and water sources safe. These hazardous materials include household cleaners, building materials, automotive products, pesticides and batteries.
