Proper and responsible recycling is one of the easiest ways to help protect the planet from the impact our trash has on it. Here are three tips to make recycling easier and more enjoyable.
1. Know Your Area’s Rules – Different cities and companies have different specifications for what they allow in recycling. Check your local guidelines so you know exactly what you can recycle. There may be something you are throwing away that could instead be recycled or, conversely, something you are recycling that you should not.
2. Buy Recycled Goods – The stuff you recycle is often remade into packaging for new products, and most say so right on the box or bottle. Look for products with packaging made using recycled materials to help promote further growth.
3. Upcycle – Upcycling is the act of repurposing and reusing otherwise disposable items. For example, use a box full of toilet paper rolls to organize all your loose cables, cords, and wires. Your only limit is your creativity, and you can find a plethora of ideas and inspiration with a simple Internet search. Materials can also be used as art supplies for kids or even grown-up artists.
