When approached about recycling, many people often get discouraged because they believe it takes a lot of work to be successful. However, recycling can be one of the easiest parts of your day when you have a plan set in place. Organization is key in order to be a smart recycler - in fact, it can even make the job of recycling seem effortless!

With help from Better Homes and Gardens, we've collected a few tips that you can use to organize your recycling:

Pick a location: Dedicate a spot in your garage, mudroom or kitchen to recycling. It is in this location that you should house all of your recycling bins or bags, making recycling easy and accessible.

Use labels: Labeling different bins or bags is one of the easiest ways to organize your recycling. By using labels, you outline exactly where certain materials need to be - this way, there are no questions when it comes to recycling!

Deposit bags: Do you take bottles or cans to a return center? Rather than have to empty recycling bins into a transportable bag, skip a step when you hang a deposit bag right on the wall. Then, when it's full, you can simply remove the bag from the wall and bring it right to your return center.

Hazardous material bins: One of the reasons many people don't recycle electronics, chemicals and batteries is because they are not sure how to. To help your efforts, purchase one container or bin specifically for hazardous materials. When it's full, research your local recycling policy to find out where you can bring these items for disposal.
