Our city has recently started a recycling program and I know they take paper like newspapers, magazines etc and soda bottles.
Does anyone know what other kinds of plastic can be recycled?
Do you recycle and if so how do you organize it? I don't want my garage to attract bugs or anything else so trying to think of a good way to recycle without having to scrub things out first.
They only pick up 2x a month or every other week so items are likely to be sitting for abit between pick ups. Any input would be appreciated!!

Do you wash out the cans or just toss them in a bag? If I wash everyone of them out to recycle then I am using water so not sure it really is a benefit. Since I am trying to conserve water as well. Not worried about the bill, but we've had a very dry last 2 years and are likely going to have lots of restrictions once the warm weather really gets here.

i actually put every thing in one garbage bag so it depends to garbage collector if they will going to separate it or not. i only recycle plastic bag from the things i bought coz i can still those plastic bag as a garbage bag than to buy a plastic bag.

Was kind of hard to organize my items to recycle, so I brought 4 trash can and painted them in the colors and divided they by genres. Each one in your classification "plastic", "metal", "paper" and "glass". And now, that is more easy, so easier.
