- Revisit Local Rules: Cities are often changing the way they recycle; check your city’s website for information on what is being collected and drop off locations.
- Know Your Codes: Not all cities recycle all recyclables. While you are looking up drop off locations, make sure to look into your city’s recycle codes - some places only recycles certain kinds of plastics and other materials.
- Know Your Recyclables: Did you know that some electronics, CDs, wine corks, and candy wrappers are recyclable? Your city may not recycle them, but try a search on earth911.com to see where you can recycle these items.
- Buy Recycled: Remember learning about supply and demand in high school economics? If there is a demand for recycled products, companies will provide them. Since these items are obviously recyclable, you recycle them, and the whole cycle starts over again. It’s a great way to conserve our natural resources!
- Make Some Money: Why not make some money while you’re at it? There are places all over the country that will pay you for your recyclables! Ever wonder what the ‘Me 5ยข’ on your bottles means? It means each bottle you recycle is worth 5 cents. Not a lot, I’ll admit, but how many bottles do you go through in a year? It adds up, believe me!
