Recycling: The Right Way

Recycle! Recycle! Recycle!! Thank you for such a small and easy action as recycling! However, simply tossing your garbage in a recycling container does not mean anything unless it’s in the “correct” container. So, make sure you recycle the right way because someone will not always be there to let you know when your garbage ends up in the wrong container as in this video.

Today, it is very easy to recycle as we can see from the numerous recycling containers on campus and all around us. Just toss your rubbish in the bin and walk away knowing that you helped maintain a clean surrounding and helped to save the environment. Unfortunately, it is not that simple, there is a right and wrong way to recycle.

When wrong items end up in the wrong container, recycling machines and/or equipment can become jammed which slows, ends, or increases the cost of the process of recycling. Certain items when mixed with some other items result in the entire batch being thrown out and thereby decreasing the value of the act of recycling. So, before you recycle next time, please ensure that you are following some basic rules to recycling.
