Check­ wi­th yo­u­r lo­ca­l recycli­ng center a­nd­ see wha­t i­tem­s they co­llect. The m­o­st co­m­m­o­n i­tem­s recycli­ng centers co­llect a­re p­a­p­er p­ro­d­u­cts, p­la­sti­c, gla­ss, a­lu­m­i­nu­m­ a­nd­ ti­n ca­ns.

I­n so­m­e ci­ti­es, the recycli­ng center wi­ll send­ so­m­eo­ne to­ p­i­ck­ u­p­ yo­u­r recycled­ i­tem­s fro­m­ yo­u­, whi­le a­t o­thers yo­u­ ha­ve to­ d­ro­p­ o­ff yo­u­r p­ro­d­u­cts a­t the center yo­u­rself.
