Recycling collects and repurposes items that would normally be thrown away and gives them a second life. There are many ways to integrate recycling into your daily routine, such as reusing gift bags when giving presents and taking recyclable materials to a redemption center. Below, learn more about recycling and how you can manage waste when you rent a roll-off dumpster.

The Benefits of Recycling

Recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, which means that discarded items—especially nonbiodegradable ones—don't sit around in the earth for decades or centuries to come. There is less need for trash incineration, so harmful gas emissions are also reduced.

Recycling further prevents pollution by reducing the demand for new raw materials, conserving the planet's precious natural resources. There are economic benefits as well, as recycling creates jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries.

How to Recycle With a Roll-Off Dumpster

A roll-off dumpster is a large trash receptacle that can be delivered and picked up from your property. Here are some things you can do to recycle while enjoying the convenience of a roll-off dumpster:

• Sort as You Go: Don't mindlessly toss things into the dumpster. Instead, sort as you go and create separate piles for each recyclable material, such as paper, plastic, and glass. When the job is complete, take the sorted items to a recycling facility.
• Know What You Can & Can't Throw Away: Some items cannot be thrown away and taken to a landfill. Unwanted electronics, batteries, paint, and tires can be harmful if disposed of improperly, so contact a recycling center for ways to safely get rid of these items.
• Rent a Dumpster for Recyclables: If you know beforehand that your project will result in a lot of recyclable materials, rent additional dumpsters to hold these items. The dumpster provider may be willing to drop these materials off at a recycling facility.
