Express Recycling: Recycling Article

When it comes to recycling and reducing your impact on the environment you should keep the 3 R’s in mind…

– Reduce – eg water, paper and electricity
– Reuse – eg clothes, bags and containers
– Recycle – eg cardboard, cans and bottles

We cannot control what others do but one thing we can control is what we do, including our impact on the environment. Every little bit helps. One way you can reduce your impact on the environment is by recycling your cans and bottle beverage containers. The added bonus with this method is that you get a cash refund or voucher in return for your efforts, how good is that! Depending on which state you are in there may be differing rules and regulations or it may not have been introduced yet, so be sure to check that out first. A commonly asked question is what products are made from recycled cans and bottles. Check out some example of the cool products below;
