Summary
Earth Day is on April 22. If you're looking for ways to help the environment, recycling your plastics is a great start. You need to know which plastics are recyclable and which should be tossed in the trash. Plastic containers will typically have numbers on the bottom that denote which kind of plastic it is. If it's not an accepted plastic at the recycling center, the employees will toss it in the trash. Many recycling companies have additional information on their website for items that can and cannot be recycled.
