A lot of Americans are now recycling which is great! But… a lot of the times people don’t know what to recycle<\/em> or if something is able to be recycled or not<\/em>. To end this confusion and worry that I know we are all having, below is going to be that mystery list that contains what CAN and CANNOT be recycled!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I some found interesting information on ecoscapes.com. They had 3 general guidelines that I thought would be beneficial to share:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Recycle all bottles, cans, and paper<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Keep items relatively clean<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t mix plastic bags in with the rest of your recycled items<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    With that said let’s go over the DO’s and DON’T!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    DO RECYCLE:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Paper and Cardboard: <\/strong>This includes cereal boxes, snack\/cracker cardboard boxes, phonebooks, magazines, mail (recommend to take your information off first), all paper, newspaper, and cardboard.<\/p>\n

    Metals:\u00a0<\/strong>This includes tin, aluminum, and steel cans.<\/p>\n

    Glass:\u00a0<\/strong>This includes food containers, jars, soft drink containers, beer, wine and liquor bottles.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"do<\/p>\n

    \"Don't<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    About 70% of our trash can be recycled<\/h3>\n

    We only recycle 30% \ud83d\ude41<\/h3>\n

    LET’S CHANGE THAT!!<\/h3>\n
