Making recycling a priority

Recycling should be high on everybody’s priority list and it is something that shouldn’t be taken for granted. Many people just leave the responsibility of recycling to others and think that they don’t have to do anything because others will do it for them, however, recycling is serious business and it is vitally important that we all play out part to ensure that there is no damage to the environment.

When you consider how much waste we accumulate over a week, it is surprising to see how much of that waste can be put into your recycling bin. Most packaging, plastics and glass can be recycled and local authorities typically provide their residents with the facilities to recycle as much as possible.

Your weekly waste disposal company will come and collect all waste that your household produces on a weekly or fortnightly basis. They will take away your general household waste and also take away any recycling that you have collected in your designated box or bin. This might contain plastics, paper, tins and glass. All of these items can be recycled and will be reused to make something completely new. It is surprising how much can be made from recyclable materials.
