034: 9 Things You’re Recycling Wrong

 

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we identify 9 items that are commonly recycled incorrectly..

Are you an Aspirational Recycler?

You know you’re an Aspirational Recycler if:

– You wish EVERYTHING was recyclable.

– You place nearly every item in the recycling bin, cross your fingers  + hope for the best.

But there are *big* problems with Aspirational Recycling. Nonrecyclable items contaminate the recycling stream + cause clog the facility’s equipment. Aspirational Recycling raises the overall cost of recycling + demands additional manpower, too.

On today’s episode I take you from Aspirational Recycler to Expert by demystifying the recycling process then identifying + correcting 9 common mistakes.

Enjoy!
