Recycling can sometimes feel like one of those things that is more easily said than done, especially if you are running on a busy schedule. Because of this, we are offering advice on some of the different items we take for recycling, why choosing to recycle them can be a good idea, and some “baby steps” for getting yourself going in the direction of an environmentally friendly household.
With items like electronics, it can be difficult to determine who will accept your old device and what they will do with it once they get it. Unfortunately, even if a device is no longer working, it may still be possible for those with bad intentions to access the hard drive and secure some of your old data. This is why it’s never a good idea to throw your old cell phone or laptop directly into the trash. When electronics are responsibly recycled, however, any data on them is destroyed, and some of their parts can be used to make new items. With the exception of TV’s and monitors, we take anything that has a plug here at ABH Services. And, we are committed to making sure that your device is appropriately taken care of.
Recycling items like paper or cardboard helps the environment by reducing the amount of trees that will need to be cut down in order to make day to day products. They can then be used to make more products of a similar kind, such as cardboard boxes, so these items don’t need to be manufactured from scratch. These are often some of the easiest items for many households to begin recycling on a regular basis.
Finally, recycling of all kinds can help reduce landfill sizes. It reduces the extent to which we need to use fossil fuels, all helpful for allowing both our planet and our local community to stay fresh, safe, and well-loved. If recycling is a difficult habit for you to get into in your day to day life, we completely understand! Some recommend that you start with just one kind of material, such as paper, and put it in a separate bin from the rest of your trash. Then, at the end of the month – or when your bin fills up, whichever comes first – just come bring it to us with the rest of your trash, and we’ll take it from there. Or, let us know you’re ready, and we’ll come and get it from you.
As you get more and more used to separating out your trash, you can begin to recycle more items. Pretty soon, recycling will feel like second nature!
