Recycling

i saw something on tv a week or so ago showing that recycling wasnt really that beneficial. but i think it is in that our landfill is lower even though sometimes it costs more in labour and fuels n stuff to convert recycled things to other items. giving things away or selling them is also another way to recycle which is helpful. a site called freecycle ( http://www.freecycle.org/ ) is a great way of posting unwanted things online and getting them picked up by someone who wants them (but as the name suggests it is free so dont post if you want money for something). and as someone else said, donating to charity is great too because then they benefit from the proceeds and you benefit by feeling great for helping the charity and also getting rid of unwanted stuff. having a garage sale is good too for getting rid of stuff but for money. i often use plastic containers for other things too instead of throwing them out (like icecream containers or jars etc). there is no limit to what or how we can make use of recycled products, we just have to use our imagination. if you have your own home, making a compost heap is also great for all the vegetable waste etc we have which helps your garden and saves money on fertilizer and stuff..

yes, we should also involve in recycle without leaving everything to government, but thing abt non recyclable things, should be banned..

I have always tried to recycle things. and trips down the recycling centre are a must, not only to give but to get art supplies etc at a very reasonable cost. I take things to the charity shop and occasionally but from there too. Our local council is going to give us wheelie bins which we sort our rubbish into so it can be recycled rather than go to land fill. We'll have 3 bins for different things, think it's going to be a bit complicated for a while but worth it, I hope.

I recycle for profit. I take cans in once every couple of weeks and make a couple extra dollars that way.

hi i send all my empty box's,milk cartons, magazines and newspapers to my daughters kinda,,,,

Regarding things that cannot be recycled.. I have seen some people make pretty cool art out of garbage, so maybe an annual world art competition with awesome prizes like trips around the world or big big dollar prizes to whoever can come up with the best piece of art. I think we all should recycle as it will be our chldren and our grandchildren and so on who will suffer the consequences if we dont.

Its a very good thing if people can realize the importance of recycling. We as individuals can do a lot to reuse what we throw away after using only once. We have a program in our area, they give a gunny-bag to put all our un-recycleable (i dont know whether the word is correct) items. They come every friday to collect it. I think its a good way.

We recycle our popcan, juice containers, water bottles and I think we are aloud to recycle our milk jugs now. I know we could do a lot more to help out.

I recycled for years-nearly everything that I could. I would recycle glass, aluminum, and all plastics. I would usually load up my car about every 3 or 4 months and get it to a local recycling place. 3 or 4 months worth of garbage outside my house paid me about 10 dollars. It was such a hassle to keep everything organized and then spending an hour or more of my day to load up and dipose of it. I found it not worth while anymore and now I don't recycle anything. I know I should, but it was just such a pain and I dreaded the time it took to load up and wait for my turn in line, and having the garbage cluttered for months at a time. I am happier just throwing it away. :(

Recycle Water & Paper

We recycle as much as we can. old newspapers and lawn clippings go around the base of the fruit trees to preserve the water and use less of it. also they keep the weeds down and encourage the worms which are good for the soil. we leave the old fruit and vegetables on the ground and they plough it back in for added organic fertiliser. we shread all old letters and things that we no longer need and put them over the seedings as they stop the weeds plus save water. old drink bottles, plastic ones, we keep and when we go interstate we take them for recycling. that pays for the fuel at least. everyone should recycle as much as they can because it is good for the environment and puts less strain on the earth that we live in. also done properly it is possible to make money from recycling. things that we no longer need or can use but are still in good condition are given to the local op shop.
