How do you start recycling plastic and paper?
{{{Goldphish}}} asked:
My daughter gets a lot of medical supplies and one day I looked in our trashcan and realized that most of what we throw away can be recycled. I was raised on recycling, and now I’d like to carry that tradition over to my own little family. Does it cost money and how do I go about starting this?

Amber-berit is free to just collect and take to recycling sites yourself,
but if you want to get a recycling bin and have your city pick it up with your trash, then the price depends on where you live, but call your city recycling/trash place for more info.

GinneyIt really depends on where you live. You can call your town/county to find out more info on how and where to recycle, what it costs, etc.
As far as the process - many cities have curbside recycling, but others you have to haul your own to the facility(s).
Once you’ve got that information -
Then, create spaces where you can keep everything separate. It really makes it easier and cleaner for both you, and the recycling facility to keep it all organized. Trash cans are fine, or if you have a smaller space, try rubermaid type bins. You can even get creative and label them if you want!
