Basic Home Recycling Tips

Do you recycle in your home? When most of us think of recycling at home, we're quick to believe that throwing all of our recyclables into a recycling bin and putting it on the curb for curb side pickup is enough. However, it's important for homeowners to realize that collecting all recyclable materials in one bin isn't as effective, which is why it's important to filter and separate products before putting them out for recycling.

The following are a few tips that you can follow as you prepare for the next recycling pickup:
  1. Newspapers should be completely separated from all other items since they go directly to "newsprint recycling."
  2. Magazines, phone books, computer paper and envelopes can be collected in one bin.
  3. Food cans should be rinsed out once they are empty and the labels should be removed.
  4. Caps should be removed from plastic bottles before tossing them in the recycling bin.
  5. Staples do not have to be removed from paper before recycling, but rubber bands and plastic wrapping must be.
