When it comes to recycling plastics, you may think to yourself ”it’s made of plastic, so it must be recyclable!”
But, if your local recycling service cannot easily sort a plastic item because of its size or shape, or if there are no buyers for the type of plastic that an item is made from, then it may not be accepted for recycling. However, that does not mean all hope is lost.
Recycle Right New York wants to guide you to a place where we act within our power to sustainably manage the materials we come into contact with. Checking your local recycling guidelines is one way that we can become more environmentally responsible in managing the plastics we encounter.
And even though recycling can be a complex topic, when we reduce and reuse first, we simplify things for ourselves and recycling right only becomes easier. When we reduce the amount of materials we need to manage, we free up more time and energy to spend doing more of the things we truly enjoy. Learn more about how to recycle right.
