How To Improve Recycling In Your Home

With all types of waste piling up all over the world and in the ocean, it’s more important than ever to be responsible for your rubbish. Governments are making headway with changes in legislature and more stringent rules. However, we all must do our bit as well. Here, we provide a very brief guide to improving your recycling habits at home.

Improve Recycling-Credentials With Recycled Aggregates For Domestic Projects

Domestic construction projects cause huge amounts of waste material - especially when using new materials. To combat this, consider buying high-quality recycled materials to ensure the waste created from the project is not as damaging to the environment.

Reduce and Reuse As a First Step

Before we even think about the recycling process, one of the best ways to be more eco-friendly is to reduce and reuse as much as possible. This means buying recycled and upcycled products and reusing any plastic bags, cans, tins and containers instead of throwing them away. Forget buying Tupperware, wash and reuse the plastic containers from your Saturday night takeaway!

Discover What You Can Recycle Initially

It can be confusing knowing precisely what can and can’t be recycled. Never just guess what can go in your recycling bin. Contact your local authority or use this handy guide from Which.

Compost Food

When food materials are left to rot in landfill sites, they create methane which can damage the planet. To combat this, don’t chuck your food waste away. Instead, start a compost. As well as helping your recycling habits, you’ll also create a nourishing compost for your garden!
