Separating And Recycling
Try to separate your garbage so the maximum amount of material can be recycled.• Newspapers. Put these and other papers into separate bundles.
• Cans. When you're finished with cans, rinse them out, flatten them and set them aside for recycling. You may notice that right now different metals are used in cans. However, the cans of the future will probably be made entirely of steel which will make recycling easier.
• Bottles. If you can't possibly use bottles, and they can't be returned, take off the metal rings and caps and put them aside for recycling.
• Collection or drop-off. The actual collection of items for recycling will vary in each community. Some may be picked up during normal garbage pick-ups. In other cases you may have to take the bottles, cans, etc., to a central depot.
• Do your own thing. Not all communities have recycling programs. If you're without one, press your local council to start planning a strong recycling effort. Get involved in local environmental groups. Your efforts will benefit all concerned in the long-run.
