Recycling - Don't Just Be a Trend

Why should we recycle? This is a fairly simple concept. When you change something old from something new, it benefits the environment in many ways. Material and natural resources are not wasted. Energy-saving occurs during the manufacturing process. Less waste going to landfill. Not to mention, it helps to keep wildlife safe. Recycling helps in creating good jobs. A study in 2016 found that recycling activities in the United States accounted for 757,000 jobs. We can all make a difference by practising proper recycling. As the County of Arlington Virginia Trash and Recycle Site states, "Recycling is collected locally, but has an impact globally." Within the last few years, too many people have started recycling regularly. In fact, there are now more businesses with commercial recycling programs than ever before.

Recycle Cycle - Do You Really Know Whats Going On?

It is probably true that most of us are asked to recycle because it will save our planet, and few of us actually listen and follow it. But the extreme possibility of this is unclear to many of us, but we do not really know what recycling is, or the process, or what happens, or how it is saving our environment. Let's start the enlightenment.  Simply put, by recycling we are giving away old or used things that normally go waste, a new valuable life by making new products from old materials. Old and used materials are broken down into their basic elements, which are then used as raw materials for other fresh and new products.  Processes vary depending on each different material. The process involves a number of activities, including a collection of recyclables, sorting, processing materials in their raw materials, manufacturing new products from these raw materials and purchasing recycled products.  Collection and Processing : This step may vary for each community but primary processe

A Planet in Need of a Recycling Program

Due to the increase in population, the demand for all consumer goods has increased. As a result, increase in the amount of waste in homes, schools, hospitals, hotels and everywhere. The answer is more recycling containers. Also, rapidly declining natural resources have become a matter of concern. Recycling not only helps in making new products but also reduces the burden on the environment for raw materials. The energy used for recycling is very less than the energy needed to make the product from raw materials. Once again, the use of more recycle bins is the most possible and immediate action we can take. Recycling provides an economical method of getting rid of harmful waste materials such as plastics, aluminium cans, glass, electronic waste, etc., which would otherwise be dealt in the landfill and pollute the environment. Due to the increasing pollution levels and the lack of natural resources, there is an urgent need to popularize recycling among the public. We need to do recycl

Turn the Waste Engine Oil into Profits

Do you know that used engine oil never wears out? It just gets dirty and can be recycled, cleaned, and reused. engine oil used in recycling conserves a natural resource (oil) and is also good for the environment. Motor oil is dumped on the ground, in storm drains, or dumped in litter cans (even in a sealed container) can contaminate and pollute soil, groundwater, rivers and streams. It is also illegal.  Recycling your used motor oil reduces the risk of this pollution. When you move your used oil to a certified center for recycling, you are protecting the environment, conserving a valuable resource, and paying for it. This is a winning combination!

So, how can we benefit from this type of waste? Today oil recycling techniques allow almost all used oil recycling machines to be restored. Regeneration does more t

Importance of Recycling

More and more people are starting to become aware of the severe impact that our world is going through and the limitations of our resources. Over the past 30 years or so, recycling has become more than just a nice way to reuse resources, it’s become the vital way to save our planet’s resources from vanishing completely. Recycling is not just something we should think about, it’s something we all have an obligation to participate in. When we recycle we renew or rather sustain our world’s supply of resources but it is going to take a global awareness of the severity of the problem for it to be truly effective. One example of this issue in action is plastic bottles. Plastic is a 100% renewable resource and if everyone were to put plastic bottles in the right bin and take them down to be processed into new water bottles or even parts for a car, then we would not be filling our landfills with plastic that not only doesn’t degrade fast enough or offer the landfill any organic resources,

What Can Be Done With Old Engine Oil

Store it in a safe container; I can use an oil drainer that can actually be used to safely store old oil, but I can still transfer it to old empty oil bottles to empty the can. If you want to dispose of it, ask a local garage - they can take it from you for free or for a small fee, or they can advise you where you can take it for recycling. Here in the UK, I usually take old oil that I want to dispose of at a local recycling center, where they have large oil banks for this purpose. You can use old engine oil, but keep in mind that it is a lot more toxic and dirty than the new oil. It still lubricates and protects metal surfaces that move against each other. It is the best idea to first strain / filter it to remove the worst of the contaminants. Avoid coming into contact with the skin while handling it, and avoid using it in places that are likely to come into contact with people's skin. You may wonder, if it is possible to filter it and clean it, then why does it have to be
