The Best Way to plastic
Recycling plastic is super important for our planet, and it's actually pretty easy once you know how! Here's what you need to do:
- Check the number inside the recycling symbol on your plastic item (it's usually on the bottom)
- Clean your plastics - rinse out any food or drink
- Sort your plastics by number (1 and 2 are the most commonly recycled)
- Remove caps and lids (these are usually made from different types of plastic)
- Place in your recycling bin or take to a recycling center
Quick Tips:
- Plastic bags can't go in regular recycling - take them to grocery stores instead
- Crushing bottles helps save space
- When in doubt, check your local recycling guidelines
