Sometimes recycling takes creativity and also some knowledge of the industry. It can be confusing deciding what is recyclable and where to dispose of it. Recycling can really help our environment and also make it a healthier place for us to live. It is not always easy to know exactly what can be recycled, there are some great recyclable items that are available in your everyday life that you would never think to recycle.
- Hair- Human Hair is compostable and recyclable. The hair from your brush or fur from your pet holds a lot of useful nitrogen that can be thrown in a compost pile. You can donate your hair to create booms that soak up oil spills.
- Jeans- Donating your jeans to Goodwill is always a good option. But if they are too raggedy, they can be recycled to make insulation products, to be used for interior and exterior walls and ceiling applications.
- Cotton Swabs- Cotton is also a good material for a compost bin. Cotton balls, cotton swabs, lint from the dryer and even old shredded cotton and wool clothing can go into your compost.
- Keys- Keys are made of valuable metal, programs like Keys for Kindness raise money for Multiple Sclerosis through recycling keys.
- Golf Balls- Most golf balls are made in two or three parts. A two piece ball is composed of just rubber and plastic which are obviously recyclable.
