Convert, Reclaim, Recover

welcome

This blog was created to support and promote the ideas of recycling and saving Mother Earth, by any means necessary. This blog has been written to target individuals who care about earth and would like to discover ways to help save the earth and all beings on it. Budding environmentalists are welcome here. I will primarily be speaking/complaining about the lack of recycling bins/care for the environment in New England. Mostly, I'll speak about Rhode Island, and URI. I hope all that read this blog will also pass on this information to others who may be interested. I will be posting about ways that we are harming the earth, and then giving ideas on how to help save the earth. I will also focus on recycling, it's benefits, and the types of items that can be recycled. If you care about the earth, or are looking for some tips on recycling, you've come to the right blog.

What Should I Recycle?


Things that should be added to Recycling bins and kept out of landfills:

Batteries, Cell Phones, Computers, car batteries, motor oil, paint, etc. This type of waste is a big deal. It definitely needs to be recycled because they are highly toxic, and if they are put into landfills, can cause big damage.
Paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, steel, and copper.
Paper means all paper items, such as phone books, magazines, paper towel rolls, cardboard boxes, etc.
One thing that you need to know is that you need to keep your paper products separate from everything else, such as peanut butter jars, because paper products cannot be recycled when they’ve come into contact with moisture, which is why pizza boxes are not allowed to be recycled.
Deodorant and chapstic containers can also be recycled as well, placing them alongside the plastic.
Any canned items can be added to your recycle bin.
