    This challenge was harder than I thought just because every time I looked up a recycling center near my house the recycling center had to webpage to refer to. However, I decided to look up Waste Management page and browsed through their site. I learned that recyclables should not be in plastic bags. So, when recycling anything do not bag it, just toss it in the recycle bin by itself.

      Anything that could be thrown out in a way could be recycled or reused in any way.

      That's very good to know, thank you for sharing!

    • This is very informative Marisol and it has me thinking if we should even store our recyclables in a big plastic bag in the first place before we take it the the recycling center. I would now use a bin to store my family's plastics and canned waste etc, in an organized manner. That way no plastic bags are being used and causing a possible pollution in our landfills.
