Say what? The ABCP's of recycling are important for everyone to know. Knowing and understanding what they are will help you improve the productivity of your local recycling center.
Want to know what they are?
Aluminum. Find out if your community has an aluminum recycling center and if it does or does not pay.
Bags. As in plastic bags. those little things you take your groceries home in. Or the nice big plastic bags you find at most clothing retailers. Just because it didn't carry your milk doesn't mean it can't be recycled too. Anything you take home from the mall can usually be recycled. Find a local drop that collects them.
Cardboard. Does your recycling center take cardboard?
Paper. Does your center take paper? If so what kind? Do they only take office paper or will they take newspaper?
Plastic. What number do they take? Our local recycling center only takes #1 and #2 to be recycled but I have known others to take #1, #2, #5, and #7.
Many places will also take Glass, Steel, and Batteries as well as those items listed above.
Find out what your local community can recycle and try to separate items before you haul it away. It can save you a lot of time when you arrive if everything is already separated.
Stay green,
