3 HANDY recycling HACKS
Assuming the recycling system in your country is not optimum, these are 3 recycling hacks that proved handy.
Compartmentalize containers
INVEST on 6 bins/containers to ease the distribution while recycling.
- paper and card
- glass
- metal and plastic
- small food waste container
- garden waste bin (compost)
- main general household bin
- non-recyclable material.
Shop WISELY to REDUCE waste
While doing your groceries, try to buy item packaged in RECYCLABLE material. A good example is to choose CARDBOARD egg tray instead of the PLASTIC one.
Using reusable bag when buying fruits and vegetables is a CLEANER alternative to the biodegradable bag.
CONTACT recycling company to pick your waste
I usually RECYCLE waste at the different drop zone around the island in Mauritius. However, IF the recycling system is NOT practical, you can contact recycling companies to pick up as they are WILLING to pick the separated waste.
