Question

What sort of things do you recycle/resuse, like containers from butter tubs, or candle glass for pens?

Answer 1

I recycle all plastic, glass, metal, and paper.  I compost all lawn and garden waste.

Answer 2

Nothing. If I can't burn it, I bury it or fly-tip..

Answer 3

I recycle everything I possibly can.

If it has the recycle logo on it I recycle it.

I compost the kitchen waste

As a family of 4 we only have 1 bag (carrier bag) per week of normal rubbish.

Answer 4

almost everything we can recycle we do.paper/cardboard/plastic etc etc

Answer 5

I recycle what I can, thanks to my curbside collection

But I do save containers, cause they always come in handy. I do try to reuse things, like I took a washing powder container and painted it gold (so you could not see the original packaging). I use it store my bits and pieces from my dressing table.

Answer 6

We used to recycle everything.

Since we moved house though and I currently don't have a compost bin, we haven't been recycling food stuffs or cardboard etc. We've had no grass cutting as yet to mulch either.

However, when we get properly settled in, I'll restart the composting putting any veg ends and left over veg etc, grass cuttings and cardboard into the composter.

We recycle glass, metal and paper thru our kerbside recycling scheme and we take our plastic to the recycling centres at our local supermarket when we go shopping.

We don't really reuse a lot of stuff as we have no need for them... apart from the rechargeable batteries of course!

Answer 7

Butter and cottage cheese containers for whatever I can fit into them.

Old crayons, scraps of thread and fabric, and cardboard egg cartons for fire starters.

Aluminum cans for hubby's mad money.

Pop tabs for Ronald McDonald house.

All recycleables go into a blue bag for processing.
