It’s very easy to recycle things at home. Many communities will provide recycling containers or bins and will then empty the recycling bins the same day they pick up your other trash. You simply rinse out your aluminum, glass, and plastic containers/bottles and place them in the recycling bin container, along with paper, cardboard, and other items acceptable to your waste disposal management company.
Some companies will accept plastic shopping bags and some will not. It’s best to check with your local provider. Another way to recycle food waste at home is to start a compost pile. Not all food waste is suitable for a compost pile so again it’s best to do a little research first. Your local department of environmental protection or natural resource agency can help.
