Recycling Bins
Recycling bins are containers used to hold recyclables before they are taken to recycling depots for processing. Manufactured recycling bins exist in various sizes for use in homes, offices, parks, and public facilities. Separate containers are often provided for different types of recyclables like paper, metal, glass and plastic. Segregating recyclables in this way reduces sorting costs and is a requirement of many waste management services.
Most recycling bins are designed to be easily recognizable. The “blue box” recycling bin used in many communities for curbside collection is a good example. Recycling bins are often marked with the “3-R’s” symbol that stands for reduce, reuse and recycle. Different colors are used to differentiate between the types of materials that are accepted. Blue recycling bins usually indicate metals and plastics are accepted, and green recycling bins indicate paper.
Recycling is no longer a niche activity practiced by a small group of environmentally conscience consumers. Recycling is quickly becoming a part of American life. Recycling bins make it easier to handle recyclables and keep them from being thrown out with the trash.
