Plastic • Not all plastic can be recycled, and it’s important to know the difference to ensure you’re not doing more harm than good. • On the back of every plastic item there should be a tiny number inscribed. That number signifies whether the plastic item can be recycled easily or if it’s hard for a processing plant to handle. 1 or 2 = RECYCLABLE 5 = DON’T RECYCLE It’s as easy as that.
Glass • Glass is 100% recyclable. • There is no excuse whatsoever to throw this in the bin. It takes over a million years for a single glass bottle to disintegrate - It should never go into general waste. The Do’s • Always RECYCLE • Sort by colour (not necessary but it helps the sorting process) • You don’t need to remove the paper labels The Don’ts • Don’t recycle light bulbs Simple.
Metal What to do with your metals can be confusing. But if you can - remember that these 4 metals CAN BE recycled. • Aluminium • Bronze • Copper • Brass If you come across items labelled “hazardous waste” they must be handled and disposed of carefully, to avoid endangering the lives of others. Hazardous waste can be: • Aerosol cans • Paints • Inflammable items • Oils Do not deposit large amounts of hazardous waste by yourself. Communicate with your local council to properly dispose of the waste.
