Recycling


What is Recycling Recycling is the process of making or manufacturing new products from a product that has originally served its purpose. If these used products are disposed of in an appropriate, environmentally friendly way, the process of recycling has been set in motion.
Items that are made from materials such as aluminum, plastic water bottles, and certain kinds of paper (plus many more) can be separated from your regular trash and put in an appropriate recycling bin.
Isn't paper just paper?
No, As a matter of fact, paper has its own "DNA" makeup kind of like human beings.
Corrugated cardboard boxes & brown grocery bags
Are made with a high-grade fiber to give them extra strength required for their use.
Milk cartons & drink boxes
Many people think you can't recycle milk cartons because of their thin plastic lining, but this is easily removed during the recycling process.

When they're recycled, a single 1 liter milk carton can be turned into five sheets of high quality office paper - this makes cartons a valuable recycling commodity.
Newspaper
Creating newsprint out of old newsprint requires that it be deinked and turned into slurry in the hydrapulper "like a big blender". After that point, the process is similar to starting with wood chips. The pulp is screened and spread over rotating drums where it is pressed and dried into large, continuous rolls of paper.
Copy paper & junk mail
This type of paper is more commonly recycled. It is recycled at home, in the office, even at school. But there is a better than recycling alternative to junk mail, and that would be to write to:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Assn.
PO Box 9008
Farmingdale, N.Y. 11735-9008


Ask them to take your name off of their list that may have your name on it. Include a list of all the name
