00:01

recycling is easy and convenient you

00:03

don't have to go very far to meet one of

00:05

these guys every residential block has

00:07

one of them and you don't even need to

00:09

sort out the recyclables and why is the

00:11

recycling race still so low well that's

00:14

mainly because of contamination 40% of

00:16

what is placed in these bins cannot be

00:18

recycled and one of the biggest problems

00:20

is contamination by food and liquids hi

00:24

I'm denise keller and i'm here to share

00:26

with you the importance of recycling

00:28

right the more we recycle the less we

00:32

have to incinerate and we will dump less

00:34

than our own lien on filaments Emeco but

00:37

to make the effort meaningful we need to

00:39

recycle right why are there tree trunks

00:42

in here hey it smells so bad in here

00:46

which it shouldn't

00:47

uh we got diaper trash just regular

00:54

trash again cigarette butts

00:57

[Music]

00:59

oh this one's really bad please remember

01:04

that blue bins are not for general trash

01:07

they're conveniently located to

01:09

encourage recycling and not to be

01:11

treated as a spare dumpster so how not

01:13

to Tsavo other people first things first

01:16

lift learn what we can or can't place in

01:18

the blue bins well we can place in the

01:20

blue bins for newspapers metal cans

01:23

plastic bottles well we can't place in

01:26

the blue bins electronics broken goods

01:29

toys

01:31

also if recyclables are contaminated by

01:34

food or liquids they're no different to

01:36

general waste a simple rinse is good

01:39

enough to make these containers our blue

01:43

bin should smell be messy or treated as

01:46

a dumpster for general waste food and

01:48

drinks if we can reduce contamination

01:50

and recycle more less will have to be

01:53

incinerated

01:54

and of course landfill we like to thank

01:58

by going green and recycling more we're

02:01

saving the planet but ultimately when we

02:03

put in the effort we're saving ourselves

02:05

and one way to do that is to recycle

02:08

right

02:09
