Glass bottles and jars can be recycled indefinitely without loss of quality. Remove caps and rinse containers before recycling. Color-sorted glass is more valuable for recycling, but mixed glass is still accepted in most programs.
Donate wearable clothing or recycle textiles through specialized programs. Many charity shops accept used clothing in good condition. Even worn-out textiles can be recycled into insulation, cleaning cloths, or fiber for new fabrics.
Metal cans and containers should be rinsed before recycling. Aluminum cans are particularly valuable to recycle, saving 95% of the energy required to make new aluminum. Steel and tin cans are also widely recyclable and are often used to make new metal products.
Food waste should be composted or disposed of in designated bins, not recycled. Composting turns food scraps into nutrient-rich soil for plants. If composting isn't available, check if your community has a food waste collection program, as many cities now offer this service.
Clean plastic containers with recycling symbols can usually be recycled. Check the number inside the recycling symbol (1-7) to determine recyclability in your area. Rinse containers and remove caps, as these are often made from different types of plastic and may need to be recycled separately.
Many shoes can be donated or recycled through specialized programs. Athletic shoes can often be recycled through programs like Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe, which turns old sneakers into sports surfaces. For dress shoes in good condition, consider donating to charity shops or organizations that provide footwear to those in need.
