Many items you consider household waste can be recycled. You should check with your local council to find out what materials can be recycled in your area. Plastic, glass, paper, textiles, metal, batteries, tin cans, foil, and many other materials may be recycled in your area. What you recycle can be transformed into something new very quickly. Within six weeks, glass bottles can be recycled into house insulation, and plastic bottles can be made into a fleece jacket.
