Have you ever thrown away something that could’ve been recycled because you didn’t feel like walking to your family’s recycling bin? Here’s an easy fix. Try finding an empty cardboard box that you think will fit all of your recycling needs for one or two days. Cut off the box’s flaps and place it in your house where it will be easy to access. Now, you can place all your recycling in this box until it fills up. Once it is full, make that trip to the garage or outside and empty the box into your recycling bin. Bring the box back inside, and repeat. This is also a great way to encourage your family members to be more active recyclers. Children can decorate the box, and if you don’t like the look of cardboard you can buy a nicer-looking in-house recycling bin. Make sure to check what your city deems appropriate for recycling by searching online for your city’s recycling program.
