RECYCLE TIPS from the Recycle Solutions July 2013 Newsletter:

Tip #1: Answer the call to recycle your wireless phone! 100 million of them go out of use each year, according to the U.S. EPA. Donate your out-of-use cell phone to a local charity or find a drop-off facility near you

Tip # 2: Close the loop by buying recycled content material. Recycling is the first step in the cycle, then the material is processed, and the last step is up to you: keep recycled content products in demand.

Tip #3: Plastic bottle caps are usually recyclable along with the bottle! Check with your local solid waste & recycling office to be sure, but many recycling programs accept bottle caps made from #5 and #2 plastics.

Tip #4: Plastic bag and film recycling doesn’t stop with grocery bags. Recycle your dry cleaning, newspaper & bread bags and also the plastic film on products like paper towels. Visit AmericaRecyclesDay.org/find-recycling for the nearest drop-off point. It is likely a grocery store or retailer you frequent already!
