Share and Voice: To recycle or not to recycle?

(I have no idea if this picture is real or not)

Hey everybody. So as I was about to take out the recycling today, I looked in it and found one of those plastic containers that lunch meat is usually sold in. I then turn my head a little bit and find the same type of lunch meat container in the garbage instead. At that moment, I realized something...I had no idea whether or not to recycle the plastic container.

So i decided to look into it a bit more, and compile a list of things that CAN be recycled and a list of things that CAN'T be recycled. I often just kind of assume a lot of things can be recycled, so I figured making a list would help me out quite a bit. So here it is.

DO Recycle

• Glass Bottles/Jars
• Pretty much any and all paper
• Milk and Juice containers
• Detergent bottles
• Soda Bottles
• Clean Foil
• Aluminum Cans
  

DON'T Recycle

• Liquids
• Plastic Grocery Bags
• Broken glass
• Corks
• Glad Cling Wrap
• Styrofoam
• Light-Bulbs
• Microwaveable Food Trays
• Shampoo Bottles
• DELI PRODUCT CONTAINERS

So there it is.  Do not recycle those lunch meat containers.  

Here are the sources I used.
