If your family is new to recycling, start with one material, then add others later.
Recycling takes only a few minutes a day.
Around the New Year is a good time to look in you storage spaces and pick out all clothes, small appliances, toys, books, magazines, and other items you do not remember using lately. If you haven t used it in the past year, the item is probably a good candidate for recycling at your favorite charity. Contact them to find out what items are accepted and the condition they should be in. Recycling is simply a matter of segregating items you would normally throw into the trash, placing them in a convenient container, and carrying them to your curb or nearest recycling center. Bins may be located in a pantry, under the sink, a corner, the basement, garage, carport, back porch, or anywhere that is convenient but out of the way.
