What exactly can I put in my recycling bin? Besides the obvious stuff like newspapers, plastic beverage bottles, and glass bottles..

Can I put stuff like receipts, credit card offer envelopes I don%26#039;t read, old homework, various plastic wrappers, fast food bags/wrappers/cups, toilet paper tubes, used paper plates, etc etc my recycling bin? plastic packaging (blister packs?)

Thanks! Oh and for those plastic cups just give a rinse and throw them in the recycle bin. Glad to see your recycling! I recycle

• YESYES! Im glad to see there are people who care about the environment. IM PROUD OF YOU!
• You may want to invest into a paper shadder for personal papers.
• Yes, except for anything with food residue or blister packs with paper glued to them. So yes, yes, yes, maybe, no/no/no, yes, no, and no.
• You can put in anything that%26#039;s recyclable, which includes things like metal, old towels, broken calculators, old computers, broken printers, unused or unneeded wood, pens, USB%26#039;s, anything that can be reused and remade. For anything like rotten items, dead leaves, banana peels, etc. you can place them in a compost bin, but if you are growing plants in a yard, these can be placed and the ground to decompose and provide minerals and nutrients to the soil. Happy recycling!
• Yes!of course u can, any kind of paper plastic or cardboard material can be put in the recycle bin, thanks 4 recycling
