Today, more and more people we recycle at home because of our attitude and that of others, it depends on saving the natural resources we have. In addition, recycling reduces pollution and helps reverse climate change.

It is very important that awareness starts at home and we can recycle all useful waste that does not work. Plastics, glass bottles, cans, paper, cardboard, etc. This also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, oil consumption, water and energy consumption.

Tips for recycling in our home

One of the best ways to recycle is already in the supermarket itself. It will always be better to purchase products that have completely environmentally friendly packaging. This will cause that when we finish the product we do not have to classify them to take them to the specific containers.

Cardboard is a product that is easily recycled, but it usually takes up a lot of space, especially when it comes to boxes. It is best to fold them correctly or cut and press them to save space and make it much more comfortable to transport them to the container, where we should put the cardboard inside, never leave it out.

Did you know that with 6 bricks you can make a shoe box? You may take them to the blue container, but this is not where they should go, the briks always go to the yellow container.

Other products that also go directly to the yellow container are cans of canned and soft drinks, something that has a high consumption rate in our country. Did you know that with 80 cans you can make a bicycle wheel?

Finally, do not forget to bring clean waste classified as special. These are electronic and electrical appliances, x-rays, cooking oil, batteries, light bulbs, paint cans, etc.
