"Proper Sorting: Make sure you sort your waste according to local recycling guidelines. This typically involves separating paper, plastics, metals, glass, and organic waste.

Clean Materials: Rinse out containers and clean materials before recycling. Contaminated recyclables can spoil an entire batch, causing it to be sent to a landfill instead"
