How I recycle is when I go to the supermarket, I normally use paper bags, (since I have no use for the plastic ones). What I do is I use the paper bags as a recycle for my paper goods inside my house. When It gets full, I bring it to my recycling bins in the garage. For the glass and plastic, I have a old Clementine box that sits on my counter. When I use a can of corn or beans or something, I put it in there. It works till it breaks. However, I put soda bottles in a garbage bag and use them for a deposit or give them to bottle drives. You can recycle many things, but as you see I reuse the paper bags and Clementine box. When you see a triangle on the plastic, look at it and if it looks like a 1 or 2, it can be recycled. Turn off lights when you aren't using them to reduce Global Warming. You can create a compost in your yard to make fertile soil for your outdoor plants. Put corn husks in there, pumpkins, leaves, dead plants, anything that can be broken down that's a plant thing.
Here's a list of some things you can recycle: soda cans, beer cans, newspapers, spare scrap paper, cans, wine bottles, cardboard, magazines, catalogs, white pages from the phone book, white envelopes, shampoos, detergent bottles and aerosol cans. To find out more you should call your local recycling plant.
It's very hard to start recycling, and I'm glad you are willing to try.

We recycle everything in our city, paper, cans, plastic, glass, beer, wine and liquor bottles. Organic waste is recycled separately too (made into compost).
I also recycle goods through www.freecycle.org and www.craigslist.org as well as a few local charities who pick up used clothing and goods.
Very little goes into the garbage.
Burning is against our bi-laws and nasty for the environment. So leaves and yard waste is also recycled.
Save energy and water by putting special water saving showerheads in and energy saving bulbs and get a thermostat that allows you to set various temperatures during the day and night. Buy newer and energy saving appliances like your washer/dryer/dishwasher and stove/fridge. Those suck up most of the bills. Have a gas heated water heater too. Saves 30 percent or more on costs and energy.

don't get me started, I moved here and I am used to having two types of trash cans. One for regular trash and one for the recyclables. NOT HERE!!! So, I keep soda cans for someone and I have a burn barrel. It was killing me to throw the paper and such into the trash so I decided I could burn them. Arrrrrrr!
