Anyone can recycle! Even kids can make a difference by working with their peers to recycle Schools encourage recycling by providing recycling bins orhumanity.org/events/ 2008kidscancontest.html
Recycle bins can be found almost anywhere especially in schools where students use a lot of paper. Recycling bins can also be found in parks, recreational centers, libraries, and the workplace. You can even have one for your home!

Most recycling bins have signs to show what can be recycled, but the most common recyclables are as follows; plastic, aluminum, paper, and cardboard. Sorting can make the process easier before going to the recycle bin Original Photos taken 11/3/12 Norton, Ohio
