Call your local recycling center to find out how you can recycle glass, metal, cardboard, motor oil, batteries, yard waste and plastic. Be careful to follow their directions on how to sort the items.
Different communities have different recycling programs.
For example, there are many types of recyclable plastics, but most recycling centers can't handle all of them. Plastics are divided into numbered categories. Your local center will tell you the plastics it can process.
Look for those numbers on your plastic containers before putting them into the recycle bin.
