What can you recycle?

Question

i never know what is ok to recycle! can u recycle any kind of paper? even if its like written on? or glass bottles? i know this is a dumb question but i wanna help the environment! can someone find a list of things you can recycle?

Answer 1

Yes, we recycle all of our paper - newspaper, old notes, junk mail, etc.  Yes to glass bottles, too...

Answer 2

You can recycle:

aluminum cans

any kind of paper

cardboard

copy paper

plastic bottles

cellophane

glass bottles

Also, you should go to your local recycling center, and ask them what items you should recycle and what items you should throw away. Only throw away food and non-recyclable items, because the garbage people just take your garbage to a landfill, and kill animals and the rainforest.

Answer 3

you CAN recycle glass bottles ect... just take them to your nearest bottle bank, like at morrisons or most super markets. you can also recycle  all types of paper.

I hope that i helped you in this matter. from Si. x*x

Answer 10

It wasn't elaborated on below but among batteries, any that were rechargable. The early technology used nickel-cadmium and cadmium is a known carcinogen. Things like radio-controlled toys, cordless tools, phones etc had these batteries. You can recycle them by taking them to Sears, Lowes and other national chain stores. Bottled water bottles and soft drink bottles can and should be re-cycled and noy refilled. They will release toxins if continued in use. There are companies that make them into a subsitute for wood. It does take energy to process them but they won't rot or crack and will have a longer usefull lifespan than wood.
