If you are new to recycling start out slow, do one or two items today, and expand as you become familiar with the idea of recycling. It may take a few trips to the recycling center for you to get the hang of it. If you are not sure about something please ask questions.
Every thing we recycle not only saves space in the landfill, but energy and our valuable resources, it is much cheaper to recycle than to make things for the first time. Aluminum can be recycled forever without using an ounce of the earth’s natural resources.
Please, please, do not put plastic that still have food on or in them. We take only those plastics with 1 or 2 inside a triangle stamped on the bottom of the bottle, jug, bowl, or whatever. In other words, don’t give us your garbage.
