my sister started a recylce bin. we already recylce aluminum cans and pans, but what things to i recycle that are plastic and how do i? like what part of a plastic bottle do i discard?
Pretty much any plastic. If it has a CRV or other redemption value on it definitely. If you are trying to receive $$ back than containers that bottle beverages are primarily the only ones you will get money for. But if you are recycling simply to help make a difference, there are plenty of plastics that are still recyclable. Doing both is the best way to go. They do normally discard the bottle caps though. Some companies that are to lazy to remove caps left on just discard the whole bottle, so make sure to take off as many caps as possible. Anything that contained hazardous material requires recycling at special locations (like motor oil)
Plastic that can be recycled have the recycle symbol and a number in the middle of it. If it has that symbol throw it in to the recycle bin. Some companies may specify what numbers they take, if they do just limit it to those numbers.
All plastics hence all the bottle can be recycled.
