By Mark Ferguson


One of the biggest environmental concerns we have today is the amount of waste we are leaving behind. For several years, the concern of filling up the landfills was widespread. Fear of trash build-up had people considering shooting garbage into outer space. Steps were taken to prevent this tragedy from occurring. Recycling equipment cuts down on waste and it is up to the citizens to recycle their plastics, bottles, cans and paper so that these machines can do their job properly.

There has been great concern for the health and welfare of the planet and the atmosphere for a few decades. Toxic emissions, pollutants, and oil spills have brought this concern to the attention of lawmakers, citizens and politicians. Projects to help clean up the planet have been put together in an effort to make the average person aware of what they can do to participate.

To make it easier to recycle, people are now supplied with buckets or bins to put their cans or bottles in to be recycled later. Bins that stand several feet high have been placed outside grocery and department stores for people to put recyclable materials in. Each are usually labeled with a specific kind of material accepted in that bin, such as paper or bottles.

Often, people will save their bottles, cans, paper, plastics and other items that can be recycled and take them to the large dumpsters that are placed conveniently in mall parking lots, mini-malls and behind the larger department stores. These dumpsters are labeled to make it easier for the people to leave behind large loads of items.

Anyone can recycle if they put forth the effort. The larger cities have pick up schedules. Citizens can leave their bins and buckets of recyclable items on the curb to be picked up. The items are usually picked up one time every week or twice in a month.

Recycling equipment cuts down on waste when people use them efficiently. It is important to recycle everything that can be recycled, in order to help clean up the planet and protect our environment.
