What would you like to recycle?
The correct way
Recycling correctly starts with knowing what your local facility accepts. Check with your waste management company or municipality for a list of accepted recyclables. Generally, this includes rinsed plastic bottles and containers, metal cans, paper products, and cardboard. Flatten cardboard boxes and remove any plastic or tape. Keep recyclables loose (not bagged) and avoid contamination with food or liquids. By following these steps, you can ensure your recyclables get reprocessed into new items, reducing waste and helping the environment.
Why I’m Doing This
I am doing this so I can teach others about why they should recycle instead of just throwing them away or flushing their items down the toilet. Also this is for a 6th grade project, My choice was to create a website that can help and inform others. After learning about how harmful plastic can be, I wanted to help people and teach them the importance of recycling properly. In summary I made this website after finding how hard it is to recycle used glasses, Medicine, and paint so I created this website.
