recycling guidelines

Recycling guidelines help us properly sort materials to reduce waste and conserve resources. Generally, you can recycle paper, cardboard, glass bottles, metal cans, and certain plastics (often marked with recycling symbols #1 and #2). Rinse containers before recycling to avoid contamination. Avoid mixing non-recyclables, like food waste, plastic bags, or broken items, as they can disrupt recycling processes. Check local guidelines, as recycling rules can vary by location. By following these guidelines, we can each contribute to a more sustainable environment and support recycling efforts in our communities.
