Why Should I Recycle?

If you throw something away it is no longer useful, it ends up in landfill, incinerated, or in some other way contaminating the environment.  If you recycle something, it can be recovered and become material for a new product, someone else may find your unwanted goods useful.

How do I start recycling at home?

Start by doing what's easy and simple.  You don't have to become an expert overnight.  The first step is to start realising there is 'no such place as away' so when you 'throw something awa'y it just goes some place else, for someone else to deal with or most likely becomes a contaminent in the environment.

Start by recycling the products that you can put into your recycling bin - paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, tin cans.  Take your bottles to your nearest recycling centre.  Unwanted toys, furniture, books, clothes can be taken to a recycling centre or post them on Wicycle a website where you can recycle items totally free of cost, thereby giving everyone a fabulous alternative to high priced auction sites such as ebay.
