Recycling our waste is a way to help the environment; however, due to ignorance or lack of information, many people do not manage their waste properly. Here we explain, step by step, what the correct procedure for recycling waste is.

To recycle correctly, you must have 5 different plastic bags: 1) In the first bag, separate all plastics, such as soda and water bottles, detergent containers, etc. Be sure to rinse them before throwing them away. 2) Metals, such as cans and aluminum scraps, should go in another bag. 3) In the third bag, recycle paper: newspapers, magazines, and sheets of paper. You can also place cardboard containers like cereal boxes. 4.) In another bag, place glass; jam jars, sauce containers, wine or beer bottles, etc. 5.) In another bag, preferably made of very strong material, because it tends to leak, place organic waste; food scraps, fruit, vegetable and egg peels, hair, plants, etc.

  Always remember to keep separated the waste that cannot decompose, such as electronics and batteries.   If you want more tips for better waste management, consider these Supersecrets:
