Welcome to Recycling 101.
Give yourself a pat on the back for taking steps to a healthier planet.
If you have never recycled, commit to recycle just one thing. Recycle aluminum cans, for example.
Recycling is a lot like dieting. It is a lifestyle change and can be very overwhelming.
Years ago, when my husband and I lived in an apartment, I took on the task of recycling just about everything.
There wasn't a recycle pick-up in the complex, so we had to load up the car and drive 9 miles to the closest recycling center.
We designated a hall closet for storage. Plastic, paper, glass and aluminum were separated with reusable shopping bags. The closet was small and the recycling center far, so the bags usually ended up stacked on top of each other.
When the closet was opened, one of the reusable grocery bags would usually give, causing a downpour of Diet Coke cans. On my husband. I knew better than to open that closet.
It didn't take long before he fell off the recycle wagon and purged those recyclables right into the dumpster. I was so mad at the time. Looking back, I wonder how he lasted that long. That closet was disgusting!
Start slow. Commit to one thing. Once you have adjusted to that, recycle a new type of item each month or week.
