Do you recycle?

Do you recycle? I recycle paper by taking it to my public library and placing it in recycling bins there. Plastic bottles and cardboard go to our city garage to be recycled. Aluminum, I take to the can center and gain a few dollars back. Just my little way of helping the earth. What do you do?

I collect scraps of paper for my arts and crafts. Alimunium cans make good paint pots or plant pots or similar. bottles i take to the bottle banks. our rubbish collection service takes paper and card and cans when they have no other uses. there are also a million ways to recycle through crafts see http://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/

I do recycle the stuff that can be recycled. I put them in a big bag and when there is enough, I will call someone who collects them to come for it and I will get some small amount of money from selling the stuff. I think that it is a friendly way for us to collect and store and sell them without throwing them away.

I recycle all plastic, paper, can, bottle, carton, i use to sell it in the junk shop, and earn some money, and separate it from spoiled garbage, to maintain a clean home.

We do recycle and it's a pain, but it helps the environment so we're willing.
