1. Every area has different recycling procedures. Know what yours are.

Recycling procedures vary from city to city and state to state, and can determine everything from what you can recycle (plastic, paper, etc.), to how to separate various materials (plastics vs. glass), to where you leave your recycling bins (curbside, drop-off centers, etc.).

To make sure you follow the proper procedures, learn about your area’s recycling program by visiting your local municipality’s website or by finding a recycling location near you.
