A few ways to help you sort waste

⒈ Plastic bags can't be recycled. Plastic bags may cause a lot of problems in the recycling process. If you have plastic bags, you should put them in the dry waste bin.

⒉ Plastic bottles with caps on can be recycled. With the new recycling equipment, this kind of bottles will go into the recyclable waste bin. However, the bottles filled with air usually take up more transport space. Therefore, you had better squeeze(挤压) the air out of the bottles before you recycle them.

⒊ Pizza boxes can't be recycled. Although cardboarditselfis recyclable, pizza boxes are not. Why? It is due to the oil. The oil on the boxes makes the paper non-recyclable.
