• Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills is important. Packing the earth full of garbage is not only unpleasant, but the space available is limited (only 27-30% of the earth’s surface is land). By recycling, mass amounts of materials can be spared from landfills and made into new products.
• Setting up containers in your home will make it easier for the whole family to recycle.
• The containers can be regular boxes or commercial containers.
• Mark the containers so that everyone knows what goes in each one.
• Set a practical time to drop off the recyclables at your community recycling depot.
