The last time you were done using a product, did you find yourself questioning whether or not it belonged in the trash can or the recycling bin? More often than not, people fail to recycle because they aren't sure which items belong where. However, by familiarizing yourself with proper recycling etiquette, you can reduce the amount of waste that winds up in our landfills unknowingly. To help you get started, we've put together a list of four things that you should always be recycling:

1. Paper: Whether it be the directions you printed out to get from point A to point B, the credit card offer you got in the mail, the newspaper you read with breakfast or the paper bag you packed your lunch in, it belongs in the recycling bin. 
2. Plastic Bags: If you're still bringing home your groceries in the supermarket's plastic bags, they need to be recycled after everything is unpacked. To make it easier for consumers, some stores have even started their own plastic recycling programs where they accept the bags back, so be sure to check during your next trip before you head home.
3. Soda Cans: Did you know that aluminum cans can be recycled an infinite number of times? Since they are 100% recyclable by nature, it's imperative that your empty soda cans always end up in the recycling bin.
4. Glass: According to care2.com, recycling one glass container can save enough energy to light a 100-watt light bulb. If you can save that much energy just by recycling one, imagine how much energy we could save if we recycled all glass products!
