Recycling question...?

Question

I am looking for guidance on recycling. My hometown offers curbside recycling. Can I recycle colored and white paper together or do I have to separate? Do I have to remove the plastic caps and ring from soda bottles (or even glass bottles)? Must I remove paper or plastic labels from glass or aluminum cans? Am I messing things up for the recycling plant if I simply rinse recycleables out, leaving the labels, rings, caps, etc? Finally, how do I know what I can and can't recycle. Thanks!

Answer 1

Watch Penn and Teller on YouTube that'll tell u everything u need to know about our goverments screwup on recycling. The only thing that needs to be recycled is alum. cans.

Answer 2

You'll need to find out the rules from your city.,  I've lived in several different places and it seems it is different everywhere.  I am in Ontario Canada, we can leave labels on cans and bottles, we leave the rings on bottles.  Some places will only recycle 1's and 2's, others recycle the 4's etc.  Contact the city about it.
