Recycling
Recycling is perhaps the easiest and most effective way that you can begin to help the environment. It is also the project green element that is most readily identified. Segregating your trash at home is a great way to start your own recycling program.
To get started – purchase a few plastic trash containers and barrels that will contain the trash selected for recycling. Be sure to label each container with the appropriate category. Your labels could be: glass, plastic, cardboard and paper. Make sure you have a container for the empty aluminum cans that come from your favorite beverages.
Find the location in your area that will take accept each of these barrels for processing when full. Each urban area has centers located through the community. This is a great way to begin recycling if your area does not have alternative means to help you recycle.
Many larger areas are now providing weekly curbside pickup of your recycled areas. If you live in one of these locations – be prepared to take full advantage of this service.
