Hello, I am Jolene Bonnell. I am going to use my site to discuss all of the techniques and tools you can use to recycle waste. There are a number of recycling programs in each community. You can recycle your electronics, scrap metal, cardboard and textiles if you know where to find your local drop off points. Some communities even provide food waste recycling services that turn old food into compost. I hope you can use the information on my site to increase the amount of waste you recycle at the proper venues. Thanks for visiting. I hope to see you again soon.

Getting Started With Recycling In Your Home
Nelli Joki
Recycling is not that hard and can make a difference in the amount of trash that is thrown away every day. Getting started with recycling in your home may mean changing the way you deal with garbage and tanking a minute to consider what is recyclable before you put it in the trash can. The requirements may be different from city to city so call your local city hall for details about how the program works there.
Making A Plan
Recycling at home starts with establishing what you want to recycle and what you want to throw in the trash. In most cities, plastics, glass, and paper can be recycled but whether they have to be sorted or not varies from area to area. Most areas that offer curbside pickup give you one can for recycling, and everything goes in it. Other areas want things sorted in several containers to make it easier to process on the other end. Set up your bins at home to match these requirements to make it easier on you and your family.
Setting Your Plan In Motion
Now that you know what to recycle and how your city requires it, you need to set up some cans or bins at home for the recyclables to be placed in. Some people like to put them alongside the trash cans in there home so that it is easier to remember to put things in the proper bins, while others want them out of site. You will have to decide what is the best option for you in your situation.
Educating the Family
Once everything is set up, you need to educate all the members of the household about how to use the recycling system. They need to understand what can be recycled and where it needs to go when it is discarded. Getting everyone to use your new system may take a little time because it is different and will require a bit more effort but reminding everyone where to put things will help. Over time recycling will become a regular thing and will happen out of habit.
Putting Out The Bins
Trash collection day and recycling collection day may be on the same day or different days where you live. You can get the schedule from the city hall in most cities. If you have multiple bins to put out, they should provide them if they want all the recycling in one can, you can just set that one on the curb. You will be amazed at the reduction in the trash you throw away with even basic recycling in your home.
