How to separate waste
How to separate waste?
Waste separation is a fundamental process for managing solid waste effectively, with the aim of minimizing environmental impacts and promoting the recycling and reuse of materials
Recommendations:
- Drain and pour out all the contents of the containers
- When possible, spread the packaging out so that it takes up less space at home, makes it easier to transport and reduces the number of trips to the recycling bin
- To avoid bad smells, you can rinse some of the packaging
- Put the bag you used to transport the used packaging in the recycling bin.
