I don’t know about you, but when recycling trash, I usually throw my paper, glass, plastics, etc. into the corner of the room – and when that pile gets too big to ignore, I’ll take everything to the dumpster, sort and recycle. It’s a pretty inefficient system, not to mention ugly. Imagine stacks and stacks of paper, or a box full of empty cans.
It’s not that I want to be so unorganized, but I’m just too lazy to get anything to help me with my organizational needs. However, I came across these bags online, which I’m thinking of purchasing. I like the fact that they allow you to sort easily, have handles for easy transport, and most importantly, are machine washable! The price isn’t bad either… only $15.
How do you sort your recyclables?
I have a box next to the trash in my office for paper. We keep two bins in the pantry for plastic and glass and then re-sort on trash night. My only concern with your bags is that the bottles leak even though we wash them…and then the liquids might seep through.
Hi Ellen, thanks for leaving a comment! I was wondering about leakage too… like you, I wash out my bottles before recycling, but you never know! Maybe the bin idea is the best way to go?
I had came across this site and I thought it was interesting to pass along. It is a creative way about recycling paper.
