Do you RECYCLE?

We also recycle some plastic bag and newspaper at home. For example, after we go home from supermarket, we use these plastic bag as garbage bag. And meanwhile, after reading newspaper, we clean the windows with newspaper. All of these material is great.

We recycle most things: aluminum cans, tin cans, glass, plastic, newspaper, magazines, and cardboard. Plastic grocery bags get reused as trash bags. Paper grocery bags get used to wrap up books that I mail out.

We put all our recyclable stuff in the blue boxes for them to pick up. I take my pop cans to our church school because they use them to buy school equipment. I put the kitchen scraps and dig them into the compost pile. Mind you it is cheaper that way, and costs less in the long run. We return the plastic bags back to Safeway, but they can only be used so many times without rotting. I use cloth bags when we shop at Superstore. I found that plastic containers only work for so long without deteriorating, so I was thinking of just using glass containers. Okay that's my boasting for today.

well yes we use the plastic bags more then one time and after that it goes to factory and they renew them. Well no w in 2007 in world there are many industries place for the procedure of recycle things, becuase in the previos years (1900 - 2000) we make many thinf=g which creates palution and now we are trying to take a reserve gaer but its dificult now to chang the situation

I always try to re-use papers that are printed on one side only. For workings or for some scribbling purposes. As for magazine papers, i would make them into DIY cards or envelopes! i hope my friends who received them do not find them " junky!" For plastic bags, hmm, they are often used to contain rubbish.. hope its environmental friendly enuf, though i noe that its best not to use any plastic bags at all as they are not biodegradable!

As I saw in Germany they recycle seriously there. But here, we just squish the bottles together, and put in a bin. :)

I recycle ice-cream tubs and plastic jars. Here we get ice-creams of different weight in different sized tubs and these tubs are really good and strong. So after we have our heart’s fill of ice-cream, I wash and dry these tubs and use these as lunch-boxes or food containers in the fridge. We also get biscuits, salad spreads, cheese spreads, pickles and such in plastic containers of different sizes and same for these too. We use them in the kitchen to store spices. Then we have the big soft-drinks bottles. We wash the empty bottles and keep drinking water in the fridge. India being a summer country, we need bottles of cold water and so these soft-drinks bottles are a great help. We also stack newspapers and magazines, and when they seem to reach the ceiling, we sell them and with the money we have a feast at home ha ha.

Actually my friend, we don't recycle. But we sell those recyclable materials on junk shops, for them to sell it also on those recycle shops. Most of those they buy are papers, plastics, bottles, shards of metal and pieces of broken woods. The food waste we have here are times given to animals, those stray dogs, cats and even birds. But if it is spoiled alreay, we use them as composte for organic use.

Yes, at home, we keep plastic bottles and papers and give them to the young people of the church, they collect recyclable materials as a way of thier fund raising.I think that was two birds in one stone,helping our youth and helping our world in our own little way.

In Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada), recycling has been a mainstay for over a decade. Under the "blue box/bin" program, recyclable waste materials are sorted into plastics, metal, glass, newsprint and cardboard. City Services provides pick up on a weekly basis. Paid for by our collective residential / commercial property taxes. My late Maternal Grandfather, taught me the concept decades before it was the "vogue" thing to do.

Yes, the most is plastic. I´m very proud beacuse Brazil (where i live) is the country leader in recycle of aluminium since 2001. (;

I recycle just about everything that I can at home. there's aonly a small bag of rubbish goes up to the bin each week, and that is mainly the disposable nappies that I use on the baby at night. Plastic bags - I avoid bringing them home as much as possible. The ones that I do have I rinse and reuse, either as bags when shopping, as rubbish bags, as waterproof wrapping around parcels or, in the case of the small ones, to wrap foods in the fridge to keep them fresh. Once plastic bags are no longer useable they go int he plastics recycling bin. Plastic bottles - I'm saving them just now to make a plastic greenhouse, but other uses for them include carrying liquids about the place, using as cloches in the garden and hanging in trees as bird scarers. Cans and tins - normally recycled in the council bins, but I also use as bird scarers or plant pots and my OH is currently collecting them for a solar heating project. Glass bottles and jars - reused for home produce or recycled int eh council facility Paper - firelighting, kiddie scribbling, shredded as animal bedding and compost Card - laid as garden sheet mulch and weed supressant, laid under animal bedding, composted. WHole boxes used as storage until they fall apart, then used as above. Clothing - passed along, used as rags, remodeled or used as weed supressant when it's good for nothing else. I'd like to make rag rugs. Toilet rolls - for planting seeds in Tetrapaks - tops and bottoms removed, they make small tree planters Wood - remodeled or burnt Kitchen waste - animals or worm bin That's all I can think of

i do recycle because my dad retired from the recycling plant so he is real big on recycling and stuff so its like a given that his children do it. LOL gotta make dad happy you know how that goes

We just started a recycling program at my school in guatemala :D

I have the will, but I fail in action-but I have the spirit, I hope I should be able to do it big time in future-we need to all get concerned about our environment!

We definitely recycle here, although we're not as good as we should or could be! Our town's recycling allows us to combine aluminum, plastic & metals (cans, etc.) in one bag. Boxes and papers in another bag.

I do recycle things at home. After buying some groceries, I keep the plastic bags in a box so I can still use them on my trips to the wet market and also for collecting garbage. That way, I minimize the number of plastic bags at home.

Hi, I don't recycle as I'm busy. I do know the importance of recycle, but I easily get influence by people around me. Since most of them didn't do it, I also seldom do recycle. But I'm trying my best not to use things that will hurt the earth such as plastic bags and polystyrenes products.

I live in a rural area and our garbage pick up service does not have a recycling service. I wish they did.

We recycle our paapers and plastic and card and tin cans,they all go to the bins or in the case of the papers a guy over the road and we do our level best to help planet earth.
