We all know that recycling is important, but not everyone knows that every recycling facility is different, and what’s acceptable at one might not be acceptable at another. It’s important to research the rules in your area and be knowledgeable about what you can and can’t recycle to ensure that your efforts are not going to waste!

Some common items that people mistake as recyclable include disposable coffee cups, greasy pizza boxes, red solo cups, and plastic grocery bags. If these items end up in your recycling, they can contaminate the rest of the materials, ultimately sending everything to the landfill.

Additionally, eating a meal and then tossing the to-go container into the recycling bin can do more harm than good. From yogurt and peanut butter to to-go containers, numerous plastic items come in contact with food. Scraps of food and liquid can contaminate a recycling load, which means the entire batch can be sent to the landfill. Although it may take a few extra minutes of your time, washing out your recyclable containers can be the difference between that item ending up in the landfill or the ocean.
