How to Make Recycling at Home Painless

By Jerry Strong


Our priority to become a more green country would go better if everyone would start recycling. So you have to think about what is keeping all people from starting a recycling program.

You almost never meet someone who doesn?t recycle because they think it is a terrible idea. Almost always, the explanation that most people give for not recycling is that it is too much effort.

Part of the answer is to keep on educating people on the priority of recycling and other steps we can do to be good to the earth. In addition to those steps, to really deal with the basic problem, we have to make recycling less of a problem. The top place to do that is in the home.

Grasping the problem starts at home so step one is to make sure the entire family understands what kinds of materials need to be recycled. That means understanding when to separate glass, paper or cans to separate holders and what composting is about as well.

The next step is to make it easy to dispose of those materials in the right way. You might set up a specific indoor trash can for paper goods to be recycled. You can purchase good sized bins to keep in the garage or wherever you put the trash each day and have one for each kind of recycling you wish to separate.

The most important step remains the last one. You must make recycling a requirement for all of the family. If all of the members of the family have to recycle, you will live up to that standard that others are keeping. The youngsters will be watched by mom and dad and the older generation also has to live up to the recycling rules.

By making recycling a project for the whole family, you can make it exciting and enjoy feeling proud that everyone is pitching in to save the environment.
