Recyclable Household Items That You Usually Throw Away

Recyclable Household Items That You Usually Throw Away

Paper Recycling

One of the easiest ways to help the environment is through paper recycling. Newspapers, magazines, junk mail, and office paper are all recyclable materials that can be repurposed into new products. Cardboard boxes should be broken down to fit neatly in recycling bins. At Kimble, we provide single-stream recycling services, making it easy for households to recycle paper products without sorting. By participating in a structured recycling program, households can reduce deforestation and lower their carbon footprint.

Recycling Plastic, Metal, and Glass the Right Way

Properly recycling plastic, metal, and glass prevents unnecessary waste. Many plastic bottles and containers are recyclable, but it is important to check the Kimble Recycling Guide to determine which types are accepted. Recycling plastic items such as water bottles, food containers, and detergent jugs reduces plastic pollution and conserves energy.

For glass bottles and jars recycling, ensure they are clean and free from food residue and dry before placing them in the bin. Glass can be endlessly recycled without losing quality, making it one of the most sustainable materials. Metals such as aluminum cans and tin cans should also be separated for recycling, as they can be melted down and reused in manufacturing.

Household Electronics Disposal

When electronics end their lifespan, it’s essential to follow proper household electronics disposal methods. Items such as old computers, televisions, smartphones, and batteries contain hazardous components that should never be thrown in the trash. Instead, look for certified e-waste recycling programs that safely extract reusable materials while disposing of harmful substances responsibly. Contact your local solid waste district for e-waste drop off points near you.
