5 Top Tips To Make Recycling Easy!

We all know that recycling is good for the planet, but sometimes it seems like a lot of hard work. Here are our top tips to make recycling 100% easier!

Tip #1 - Keep your recycling bin next to your waste bin...

This makes it just as easy to recycle as it is to send rubbish to landfill.

Tip #2 - Keep a list of what is recycled in your area...

Keeping a list of what you and other in the area can recycle will help you to remember what goes in each bin. This will stop you from throwing away things which can be recycled and ruining your recycling with things that cannot be recycled.

Tip #3 - Make a note of recycling collection dates...

So that you do not forget to put the bin out and your recycling doesn't get too full. We don't want to send recycling to landfill just because there is no room left in the recycling bin!

Tip #4 - Wash out your food pots...

Lots of food containers are recyclable. Make sure to wash them first!

Tip #5 - Open your eyes...

Look out for places that recycle things that cannot go in your green bin. For example, lots of supermarkets recycle soft plastics and batteries.

Set yourself a challenge: can you recycle more than you send to landfill this week?
