Recycling is an important factor in conserving natural
resources and greatly contributes towards improving the environment. Below are
some helpful hints about recycling in and around the home. Recycling in and
around the home can be easy when you know how. By thinking carefully about what
products you buy at the supermarket and how to recycle them is the first step
towards efficient recycling.
Find ways of recycling
different materials
Many materials can be recycled, such as paper,
plastic, metal and glass. Other items such as furniture, electronic equipment,
building material and vehicles can also be recycled but many people don’t often
think to do so.
Buy products that can be
recycled.
When shopping at the
supermarket, buy products that can be recycled easily such as glass jars and
tin cans.
Buy products that have been
made from recycled material.
You can tell if a product is eco-friendly by looking
at the label on the packaging.
Avoiding buying hazardous
material.
It is difficult to
recycle products that contain hazardous waste. Try to find safer alternatives
to household cleaners and buy non-toxic products whenever possible.
Recycle bins.
Make sure you have a recycle bin in your home. Keep it in an obvious place so
you won’t forget to use it. Your local council should be able to provide you
with a recycle bin that can be used for materials such as glass, paper,
aluminium and plastic.
