How to Recycle Household Waste Materials

By Home & Garden Last updated Wednesday, June/05/2024

1). Place several buckets, bags or bins in your kitchen.
2). Rinse food and drink containers so as not to attract pests such as ants.
3). Sort the materials according to type. For example, put paper in one bag, plastics in another, packing material in another and so on.
4). Reuse materials when possible. For example, you can reuse packing materials for new packages almost indefinitely. Plastic tubs make good plant pots and paper is clean bedding for small pets such as hamsters.
5). Compost organic waste, including paper and cardboard. Tear the paper into thin strips and mix it well with other kitchen and garden waste such as vegetable peelings. This ensures a balanced compost.
6). Sell some of your waste. In some areas, you will receive a small amount of money for aluminum cans and plastic bottles.
7). Take the remaining waste to a recycling center and place it in the appropriate receptacles.
