If you have a garage, or basement, that is an ideal place for recycle bins. I don't have a garage so my recycle bins are outside at the foot of my deck, in the back of my house.

Take the plastic bags either to the recycling center, or back to Walmart where they have bins for them. When you go to the store, take cloth shopping bags so you don' t need to accept the plastic ones., or just reuse the plastic ones you already have.

Recycle glass, cans, aluminum, newspaper, junk mail, cardboard, telephone books, plastic (look at the bottom of the container to see the recycling # and find out if your local center takes them, most places only take # 1 and 2). Some recycling centers take magazines, and any household items that you don't need, and give them away free to anyone who needs them. Some have a small charge for such items.

Try and reduce the amount of stuff you bring in the house, and reuse everything you can. Sometimes schools accept things like toilet paper rolls, clean cardboard, spools, plastic containers, and other items that can be used for crafts.

Recycle styrofoam peanuts, either at your recycling center or a store that does mailing, like Mail & More.

Most recycling centers have useful booklets that help you know what can and can't be recycled.

There are long lists of recyclable material. You can look them up on the internet also. Here is one hjelpful web site:

It is a challenge finding room for this and changing habits. Hopefully your parents already have separate bins in a convenient spot in or near the kitchen.

For you room, maybe having two containers, one for trash, one for recycling. Then you can take the recycling one down once a day and empty into your recycling bins.

Also can you buy different things? If everything comes in paper packages rather plastic or metal, then you do not need to sort things. (I know it hard enough to find just the right product, now it needs to be in just the right package!)

Good Luck!

you are a great person for wanting to recycle..congratulations for being so responsible..the earth needs more teens like you to save it.i see so many teens littering it makes me wonder who raised them.

you could try having small bags in the house and transfer them to the larger bins outdoors when you go to bed..garbage cans with a hole in the lid with a bag inside work well for glass and tins..

A PLASTIC OCEAN is a very disturbing story on the importance of recycling..it sure woke me up....

Answer 4

mash the alum cans, sell them at a junk yard, give the paper to the paper co, etc, store them in plastic bins in the garage,
or place the bins out side,
take the paper off food cans, cut both ends out smash them,
but rinse all cans first then they wont smell, plastic can be mashed also,
