How Can You Help to Protect the Environment?
Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656
Everyday, we are searching for new ways to improve our lives
and the planet on which we live.
We can start by recycling the items that we use in daily life. It is much easier than we think and
also the law in New York City because it is free to residents. Recycling is an easy way to protect the
environment and try to slow the global climate change.
The City of New York provides a
convenient and comprehensive curbside recycling program for its residents. The Department of Sanitation provides
weekly pickups and easily accessible and detailed information about recycling
in New York City. It's very
important to know what exactly to recycle.
There are two different types of recycling, you have paper
recycling and also bottle and can recycling. You should keep containers for collecting paper in your main
work areas, like where you sort mail or dispose kitchen items. Develop a system to deliberately remind
you to recycle things you would normally throw in the trash. Shred mail and remove address labels if
you are concerned about the confidentiality of your mail. Make things easy on the environment and
yourself by finding out how to unsubscribe to all of your junk mail.
When recycling bottles and cans you can
leave the labels and lids on but be sure to rinse to prevent pests and
odors. You can also save space by
flattening your recyclable items, it will not affect recyclability.
Visit Boro-Wide recycling if you have
recyclable items that may be too big to leave curbside. Boro-Wide Recycling Corp. is the
leading full service provider of progressive and innovative recycling and waste
management services. For
