Recycling is one of the easiest enviro-friendly things to do. Make it quick, hassle free and automatic!

Find out what local services are available. What can be recycled in your area? If you can’t find out exactly, go for paper, glass, plastic and aluminum. You don’t have to always search for the numbers of the “types” of plastic.

Set up your recycling area- this could be as simple as a separate “garbage can” which is the new “recycling bin,” reusing a paper grocery bag with handles under the sink, or you can be fancy with the ecopod Home Recycling Center. Having things be easy and workable is crucial for succeeding long term!

Buy anything possible recycled! Nowadays, you can find recycled paper towels, toilet paper, paper napkins, and facial tissue in most local stores! For those who think that recycled toilet paper is used toilet paper that has been recycled, it’s not! Have no fear! If you just can’t break your attraction to the velvety soft Kleenex that you have always used, put recycled paper in the guest bathroom! Or, keep a roll of recycled paper towels on hand for when you wash the windows or soak up a big spill…something that is not everyday so your hands won’t mind!
