There is a lot of materials in this world that is able to recycle but most of the people do not know about that. Thus whenever people saw a recycle bin and their holding a recyclable rubbish they just throw it to the recycle bin without knowing that some of the parts are not recyclable. Actually there is a lot of materials that can be recycled. For example the common things that is recyclable is glass drinking bottles. The glass are able to recycle but the lids must recycle separately. When recycling the glass drinking bottles do not forget to leave the lids off. Other materials such as milk cartons or any other cartons are able to recycle as well. Paper from magazines, newspapers, waste office paper and contact books also recyclable as well as aluminum drink can, steel food cans, paint tins, aerosol containers, coffee tins, bottle tops and jar lids. Plastics or any kind of things with recyclable symbols on them are also able to recycle.
Knowing that are many things are able to recycle but take note also that there is some items cannot be recycled according to the range, complexity to hazards. This kinds of items need to separate for example light bulbs. On some places they provide a drop off areas for light bulbs collecting to avoid mercury contamination of the landfill. Plastics without recycling symbols might not be able to recycle. Drinking glasses, crockery, Pyrex or other ovenproof glass as well as ceramics are not able to recycle. Other things that are unable to recycle also are carbon paper, foil wrapping, laminated paper, gift ribbon and wrapping, sticker, foil potato chip bags.
Some recycling place are not accepting aerosol. Mirrors, window glass or broken glass are able to recycle also. Item contaminated with food such as take away containers and pizza boxes, items such as tetra packs, batteries, paint tin, oil, polystyrene, tin foil, clothing may be recyclable but depend on which country or what processing plants are being used. There are also some things that people should not recycle because it was considered dirty but unfortunately turned up in recycle from time to time like dead animals, medical waste, used diapers or sanitary ware, used syringes and unwanted live animals. These kinds of act are considered are irresponsible, cruel and ignorant but most people do this due to economic problems.
