A Good Place to Start
There are many different recycling services available. The easiest way to sort them is to group them into CURBSIDE RECYCLING services and SPECIALIST RECYCLING services.
Curbside Recycling refers to the recycling services more often provided by your local government, although sometimes only a commercial service is available. This service commonly picks up paper & cardboard, glass bottles and jars, metal cans, and certain types of rigid plastics.
