Recycle this, don't recycle that - after a while of being told what you can and can't recycle, you might start to get too wrapped up in the process of it all and begin confusing which items belong where. However, recycling is truly a simple act that can be done almost effortlessly; especially at home! If you feel like haven't been on your recycling game recently, refresh your habits by following the tips listed below -

1. Designate one recycling bin to collect all of your plastic bottles once they are empty. While it can be easy to drop your water bottles, for example, in the trash after breakfast, lunch or dinner, ensure that they end up in the recycling bin by making one accessible by everyone in your household.
2. Although snow has been pretty much the only weather condition our area has seen lately, spring is not that far away. When you start to clean out your closet for the change in season, always donate clothes you are not looking to keep.
3. Use the paperwork from junk mail you receive as scrap paper for future notes. Even if you would rather not open it, the exterior of the envelope can come in handy the next time you need to take down a phone number or put together your grocery list.
4. Rather than stuff your plastic bags in the garbage can with everything else, set aside a cabinet where you store them so that they can be used again and again. For example, plastic bags can serve as great garbage bags for smaller trash cans in rooms like your bedroom or bathroom.
