It’s also a smart idea to take a step back to assess how well your recycling practices are serving you. Is all you can recycle at home on its way to your recycling bins? When you go shopping, do you look for recyclable items? Are you reusing all you possibly can? Now and again, we all need a recycling refresher. Here are four simple ways to revamp your recycling routine to get you started.
Make recycling easy
Making recycling simple and quick is a smart way to ensure that you recycle. Place recycling bins in convenient locations to facilitate recycling.
If possible, place a recycling bin next to each garbage can, particularly in places where there would be a lot of recyclable materials, such as the bathroom and kitchen. Only a note that if your city has a single-stream recycling scheme, there is no need to waste time collecting the recyclables because everything will be handled at the recycling plant.

Keep up to date
Learn the items that can be recycled by your city's recycling scheme. Check-in with them regularly to see if any new materials have been introduced, as new opportunities for recyclable materials can become available in your city. You will normally find this information on your city's website or by calling your provider directly.
Here's a short reference guide to the items that can be recycled in most recycling programmes: ● Papers: Mail, office paper, school papers, books, catalogues, and newspapers are also examples of paper.
● Carboards/Boxes: Corrugated cardboard, paperboard boxes (cereal, crackers, etc.), and shoeboxes are also examples of cardboard.
● Plastic: Check with the nearest recycler to see what kinds of plastics they accept.
● Glass: Bottles and jars with food and beverages.
● Metal Cans: Food and beverage containers made of metal.

Know where to recycle
Find out where you can use those materials so that you know what can be recycled. If you have curbside recycling or do you take your recyclables to a recycling centre? It's just as important to know what can be recycled as it is to know what can't.
In addition, look for places to recycle items that cannot be recycled in your garbage bin. Most nearby department outlets, for example, have recycling bins in the front of the shop for materials such as plastic bags and electronics.

Purchase recyclable goods
Consider the items you purchase as well as the package they come in. Check for items that use recycled materials as well. The greater the market appetite for these types of goods, the greater the need for producers to use them.
