10 Practical Recycling Tips

Recycle! Recycle! If everybody would only recycle, this world would definitely be a much better place. Too bad, we cannot just hypnotize people and start with their own recycling program. However, what we can do is to spread the word, educate people, and share the knowledge about this earth-friendly undertaking to convince them how important recycling is.

To help make recycling easier and simpler, here are 10 practical tips you can follow:

1. Start a home recycling program. Get everyone involved. Place various recycle bins in different strategic locations inside and outside your house to make it easy for everybody to do their part in the recycling program.

2. Buy recycled things. The number of people buying recycled products can be a good gauge of the success of recycling. Be sure to check the product you are buying to see if it is recycled. If it is then it is a good buy. Always try your best to be earth-smart with your shopping.

3. Be choosy with buying products. Buy products that have less packaging to reduce waste. Aside from that, opt to buy and use things that are reusable (buy cloth napkins instead of paper for dining; use cloth rags and sponges instead of paper towels for cleaning.)

4. Invest on cloth shopping and grocery bags to decrease usage of plastic. This will minimize using of plastic bags.

5. Don't make a habit out of throwing things into the trash. Before you dispose anything, be sure to think many times at the possible uses that you can still do with that item. For example, empty bottles may seem useless for you but if you think about it, you can use them as container for a vast array of supplies.

6. Contact local recycling center to inquire what kinds of materials they accept for recycling. This will help you in the formulation of your recycling program.

7. If you are a soda junkie, invest on an aluminum can crusher so that it would be easier for you to crush down your soda cans.

8. Always use or print on both sides of paper to minimize waste. Keep in mind, that recycling paper can help reduction in cutting of trees.

9. When collecting food containers for recycling be sure to rinse them first so that higher quality recycled products will be produced.

10. Be dedicated in your quest to recycle. Do not do it only for a day. Be consistent. Remember the priceless benefits of recycling whenever you feel like quitting.

At first, recycling can be a tiring and demanding work but with so many rewards, that recycling has to offer, you know that all your rewards would be truly worth it.
