It conserves natural resources, such as trees and energy, by reducing the amount of materials we take from our environment to make new products. The majority of the waste we produce is recyclable. But each area has specific recycling guidelines. More and more communities are developing curb-side recycling plans, but these programs only pick up certain types of materials. You'll need to research your area's recycling program to find out exactly what will be accepted and what won't.
Some facilities only have equipment to process certain types of paper, plastic, and metal.
If your community doesn't have a curb-side recycling program, check out your local waste disposal center to see if they accept recyclables. Another option is to contact wholesale recyclers, who accept materials which they then re-sell on the global market for a profit. Find a space to collect your recyclables. Make sure that everything you save for recycling is clean and dry. Each different type of plastic has a different chemical composition, and therefore they melt at different temperatures.
