Recycling can feel confusing, but knowing the basics makes a big difference! Here are some common items you can put in your recycling bin:
✅ Paper – newspapers, magazines, office paper, and paper bags (clean and free of food).
✅ Plastics – bottles for water, soda, detergent, or shampoo; milk jugs; and clear plastic tubs like yogurt or butter containers (always check local guidelines).
✅ Cardboard – cereal boxes, shoe boxes, and shipping boxes (free of packing tape).
✅ Glass – jars and bottles of all colors, from salsa to jam to sparkling water (clean and free of food).
✅ Metals – aluminum cans, tin/steel food cans, and even clean foil or foil pans.
✅ Other Household Items – some beverage cartons and empty, non-hazardous aerosol cans (like whipped cream).
Every recycled item adds up to less waste in landfills and more resources reused. 🌍
