What we'll do here is let you know how you can get into the recycling groove.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>We'll give you tips and advice on such topics as turning your household food waste into compost as well as how your local council can help.. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><font color = navy blue><b><h5>Local Council</font></b></h5><b>1)</b> Many local councils have recycling collection programmes, and will collect items you want recycling from outside your home.</p><p>If you do not currently have a council provided recycling box, it may be an idea to give them a call, to see if you are eligible for one.</p><p><b>2)</b> When you have found out if your local council runs a recycling programme, find out what items they recycle, as different councils recycle different items. Some of the items which are recycled include; paper, plastics, tins and cans, and glass. So find out and start the process.</p><p><b>3)</b> Now that you have found out what items your council recycles, it is then time to sort out the different items. From a personal point of view, when you have finished with the item which is to be recycled, wash it out in soapy water and place it into an individual box or bag. I do this so I don't get the different materials mixed up say, mixing glass with aluminium.</p><p><font color = dark green><b>Tip</font></b> Try and get the rest of your household involved in recycling items. Like anything, once you get into the process it almost becomes like a learnt habit.</p><p></p><p><b>4)</b> Once all the above steps have been covered, find out from your local council what days they pick up the recyclable items. Some councils issue stickers with all the days they pick up your rubbish highlighted on it. Why not ask them if they issue similar stickers. If they do, when you receive it stick it up as a reminder of their pick up days. </p><p><b>5)</b> If your local council doesn't run a recycling scheme, why don't you try and incorporate it into your weekly shop?</p><p>During the week collect all the items you want to recycle, when you go shopping take all the items with you and put them in the large recycling bins which most supermarkets provide. If you build this into your shopping trips them it will become second nature.</p><p><p><center><script type="text/javascript"> </script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script><p></center></p><p></p><p><font color = navy blue><b><h5><text align = center> Make Compost</font></b></h5></align> <img style="margin:8px 12px 0 0; border:0;" src="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/images/compost.jpg" align="left" width="265" height="247" alt="recycling"> Why not put your household food wastage to good use, by using it to make compost for your garden?</p><p><li>This form of recycling involvement can be very rewarding. If you are interested in doing this, the first thing you need to do is purchase a compost bin. These can be purchased for relatively little cost fromany reputable garden centre or DIY store.</li></p><p><li>Once you have your bin it is best to place it on a level surface where any excess water can drain easily away from it and different creaturea such as worms can gain easyaccess to it.</li></p><p><li>The items you put into your compost bin should materials which rot quickly, these include fruit, vegetable peelings, teabags, and even cardboard. Really anything thatrots can be turned into compost.</p><p>Items which should not be placed into your compost bin include; cooked vegetables, meat, animal wastage, or dairy products as these can attractunwanted guests, not mention the odor they'll, give off. Additionally items which do not rot shouldn't be put in there, these include glass, plastic and metal.</p><p><li>After a few months your bin should start to produce great compost, it is dark brown and has a spongy composition. If your bin has a hatch justopen it and extract the compost, if it doesn't most bins are easily tipped over so just tip it over and get the compost out that way.</p><p><li>Congratulations you've just made your own compost, now you can put it into your flower beds of your garden and start growing beautiful flowers</li></p><p>Why not visit our<a href = http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/gardeningtips.html> gardening tips</a href> for some great ideas in creating your own little oasis.</p><p><center><script type="text/javascript"> </script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></center></p><p></p><p> <br clear="all"> <br clear="all"> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/recycling-tips.html">From Recycling involvement, to recycling tips<br></a> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/recycling-benefits.html">Recycling benefits<br></a> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/carbon-offsets.html">Carbon offsets explained<br></a> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/home-ecosystems.html">Home ecosystems<br></a> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/gardeningtips.html">Gardening Tips<br></a> ***z-below-paragraph-2.shtml   <div class="ReturnToNavBox"> <p> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/index.html"><center>Back to Spring Cleaning Tips home</a></CENTER> </p> </div> <script src="/ssjs/socializeit.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript">socializeit({pack: 0, domain:'spring-cleaning-tips.com', payItText:'', szColor:'',whatIsThisUrl:''}); </script> </div> </div> </div> <div id="NavColumn"> <div class="Liner">   <div class="Navigation"> <p><li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/index.html">Spring Cleaning Home</a> </li> <h3>Cleaning Tips</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/cleaning-tips.html">Spring Cleaning Tips</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/stain-removal.html">Stain Removal Tips</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/natural-cleaning-products.html">Natural Cleaning Tips</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/household-pest-control.html">Household Pest Control</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/laundry-tips.html">Laundry Tips</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/ironing-tips.html">Ironing Tips</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/clutter-control.html">Clutter Control</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/recycling-tips.html">Recycling Tips</a> </li> </ul><br><br>  </div> </div> </div> <div id="ExtraColumn"> <div class="Liner">    <p class="ThumbnailLink"> <p class="ThumbnailLink"> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/guzelvintage-uk.html"><img src="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/image-files/guzelvintage.jpg" width = "160" height = "160"> <span class="Caption">Bespoke Vintage Wedding Accessories</span> </a> </p> <p class="ThumbnailLink"> <script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script> <script> new TWTR.Widget({ version: 2, type: 'profile', rpp: 4, interval: 6000, width: 190, height: 300, theme: { shell: { background: '#1a7809', color: '#f7f5f2' }, tweets: { background: '#f0dc6c', color: '#000000', links: '#044a0c' } }, features: { scrollbar: false, loop: false, live: false, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: false, behavior: 'all' } }).render().setUser('onepairofhands').start(); </script> <p class="ThumbnailLink"> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/quizzes.html"><img src="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/image-files/quiz.jpg" width = "160" height = "160"> <span class="Caption">Quizzes</span> </a> </p> <p class="ThumbnailLink"> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/barty-mchandy.html"><img src="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/image-files/bartymchandy.jpg" alt="answers to homemaking questions" width = "162" height = "169"> <span class="Caption">Ask BARTY</span> </a> </p> <p class="ThumbnailLink"> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/free-cleaning-ebook.html"><img src="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/image-files/freecleaningebook.jpg" alt="free cleaning ebook" width ="142" height = "202"> <span class="Caption">Free Cleaning E-Book</span> </a> </p> <p class="ThumbnailLink"> <a href="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/useful-tips.html"><img src="http://www.spring-cleaning-tips.com/image-files/ideas.jpg" alt="submit your tips" width ="160" height ="146"> <span class="Caption">Submit Your Tips</span> </a> </p>  </div> </div> <div id="Footer"> <div class="Liner">  <div class="ExtraNav"> </div>   <p> Copyright 2011 Spring Cleaning Tips.com<br><br>. </p>  </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
