Install bins or set aside a space to collect recyclable materials.
Recycling is a meaningful ecological action that reduces the flow of waste to landfill and supports the development of the recycled product market, reducing resource use.
Our recommendations :
-
Design a space in the cupboards to hold recyclables before they are emptied into the municipal recycling bin. Some garbage cans now have two sections – one for garbage and one for recyclables.
