A simple list of what can and cannot be recycled!

Plastic pollution is currently one of the biggest environmental concerns polluting our planet, killing wildlife, and contaminating our seas. In fact, approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans daily. It may seem like large amounts of plastic waste are inevitable in the world we live in, but you can help with the plastic pollution issue by being aware of its dangers and taking steps to reduce waste. Here we shared a simple list of what can and cannot be recycled!

Three general guidelines for recycling:

1. Recycle all the bottles, cans, and paper
2. Keep items relatively clean
3. Don’t mix plastic bags in with the rest of your recycled items
