Lauren Brown enjoys visiting Reno, where her parents live, and is a student at Stanford University studying sustainable agriculture and conservation. Whenever you try to recycle items that you shouldnt, it harms recycling. We need to remember that when our trash is hauled away each week, it’s being dumped somewhere in nature’s big, beautiful backyard.
If so, remove the lid and crush the bottle by twisting from the top and pressing it down. Nevada, collect our yard waste and food waste to keep landfill contributions to a minimum. When recycling plastic bottles, check to see if they say 'crush to conserve' on the label. Similarly, food waste should be recycled into compost to help grow new food. We recycle plastic, metal, glass, and paper so that they can be turned into new products. When we take out the trash, we need the option to be smarter about our food waste. Recycling containers contaminated with trash and garbage, glass, metal, toner cartridges, styrofoam, popcorn packing or copy paper wrappers cannot be emptied by recycling staff. But we all know that life gets busy and we forget about groceries or the leftovers from last week. Items that cannot be recycled at ASU include adhesives, blueprints, carbon paper, copy paper wrappers, foam, food wrappers, garbage, metal or wooden objects, napkins, packaging peanuts, photographic paper, plastic cups, rubber bands, self-stick labels, tape and trash. Our priority should be to make changes to reduce our food waste it would save money and waste less resources.

Rather than losing the nutrients in our leftover food to the depths of a landfill, they can be recycled into compost that improves soil quality and grows new food. Lets be fur real: your pets wouldnt waste food on your plate. Tell Coca-Cola, Nestl and Pepsi to step up and support a deposit return program for plastic bottles in Ontario. Not only does it reduce waste headed to landfills, it makes for ideal composting conditions. Households throw out less garbage and reduce collection fees by switching to a smaller garbage container. Paper products like plates, napkins, and even pizza boxes go in too. Myth: Even if an item shouldnt go in the bin, it will get sorted anyway. In locations such as Western Washington and the Bay Area, food scraps go into the yard waste container. Food waste recycling is a growing movement around the country. So why do we have to put it in the landfill? Well, we don’t.
