Bottle Recycling at Thornton’s in 3 Easy Steps!

October 20, 2022

 

Eco-friendly movements are gaining more popularity with each passing day, and many people are becoming enlightened on how some waste products harm the ecosystem if not correctly disposed of. The word “some” in this case is used because there are classes of waste products (organic wastes) that decompose and become nutrients for the soil. Thus, they do not cause problems to the environment. 

This means that there are classes of waste that do not decompose, and when these waste products are carelessly disposed of, they pollute the ecosystem. A waste product example that pollutes the environment is plastic waste, being that it is a non-organic material that does not decompose. Hence, carelessly disposed of tends to accumulate and harm the environment.



This is why the best formula for treating waste products like plastic is the 3Rs formula. The 3Rs procedure entails a process that involves reducing waste deposits, recycling waste deposits, and reusing them. In this process, the collected waste products are recycled and serve as raw materials for production in specific areas.


Indeed, one beauty of the 3R formula is that anyone can get involved in the eco-friendly movement. Moreover, recycling companies like Thorntons allow homeowners and individuals to submit plastic waste for recycling, thus preventing careless disposal of such waste products. 


However, each individual must know the steps involved in bottle recycling, and this article will teach you more about these steps.



Top-notch Tips for Bottle Recycling


The tips below are the most manageable steps to guide anyone through plastic bottle recycling. They include:



1. Sorting your plastic bottles in a bag

Many people think that the process of bottle recycling is stressful and time-consuming, but this is not the case if done right. The primary reason why bottle recycling is viewed as stressful and time-consuming is that people often collect all their waste together. But then, as mentioned above, waste products are in classes, including organic and inorganic waste. 


Of course, plastic bottles belong to the class of inorganic waste; thus, collecting them in separate bags from other waste products is essential. Ensure to take the cap off the bottle when sorting and keep the bin or bag in an accessible place.


 

2. Clean the bottles before storing

Bottle recycling is also viewed by many as time-consuming because most people keep the bottles and then take them out again to clean them before taking them to the recycling company. Indeed, this could take some extra time. 


But then, homeowners can circumvent this by developing the habit of rinsing plastic bottles properly before storing them.


 

3. Find an efficient recycling company

The word “efficient” means you need to find a recycling hub that is available and readily accessible. This entails that the recycling hub should be open every weekday. They should also be competent at their work. 



Conclusion


The view of bottle recycling as stressful and time-consuming can not be accurate if you do it right. This is why we have highlighted some top-notch easy tips to guide anyone through the process in this article.
