Where to recycle those waste that we do not know where they go

The organic waste , which decays, which are basically:

• The food
• Eggshells
• Food scraps
• Fruit peels

The paper and board , without remains of another material such as plastic. Are here:

• Egg cartons
• Paper
• Shoe boxes
• Cardboard boxes

If you put it in a plastic bag, empty it in the bucket first or use paper bags for storage.

The plastic :

• Water bottles
• Packaging

Metal objects also go in this container :

• Deodorant cans
• Aluminum or soda cans

That you can fold for better storage.

Glass, however, in many cities, is separated between dark and clear glass (a bottle of wine would be clear and a bottle of beer would be dark). Jars of jam and perfumes will also go here.

Items that must be taken to a special point ( clean point ), such as:

• Electronic devices
• Batteries
• Oil
• Medicines

They are very polluting and should never be mixed with organic waste.

We can integrate another type of garbage that cannot be recycled or included in any other for elements such as ash or hair. These containers are usually more difficult to find, although you will surely find them if you do a little digging.

However, especially for those who have just arrived in the exciting world of recycling, it is normal that some doubts arise with some everyday waste.

To which container should the following waste be destined?

• In which container the tetrabrik is thrown : although the exterior is made of cardboard, it must go to the yellow container; that of plastic. This is so because it has an inner lining (in addition to the cap) that makes it unsuitable to be processed together with the cardboard.
• In which container are the containers to store meat, fish or vegetables thrown : these containers are usually made of plastic, so they would go in the yellow container, although some of its parts can be made of paper and cardboard (such as the tray that usually cover to the precooked food that we order in Chinese restaurants and others). It is easy to differentiate its different parts, you just have to look at the type of material.
• In which container the wood is thrown : it is recycled together with the plastics, in the yellow container.

• In which container the canning cans are thrown : for example, mussels or tuna. Rinse them well so there are no organic residues and throw them in the yellow container. All those metal wrappers (such as cans of olives) will also go in this container.
• In which container the aluminum foil is thrown : although this material should not be used in abundance, you should know that everything that is made of aluminum (such as containers) and the same wrapping paper also go to the yellow container.

• In which container is very dirty paper or cardboard thrown away : for example, if a cardboard container is very full of sauce and you cannot clean it, you will have to send it to the organic waste bin, although it is a shame because it will be a cardboard that will no longer be used. will recycle. Also the paper that we use in the bathroom, the very dirty napkins, the plasters or panty liners, must go to the waste or residue (gray).
• In which container the bulbs are thrown : they have to be taken to a special point, it is not enough to throw them into the glass because they have mercury.
