How to Save the Environment by Recycling Bottles

 

Did you know that recycling just one plastic bottle can save enough energy to light a 60-watt bulb for up to six hours? Recycling is important, and it’s easy to do. All you have to do is take your bottles to Bottle Depot. But what if you don’t want to go out of your way to recycle? Bottle Depots are usually located in out-of-the-way places, and they can be a hassle to get to.

That is where bottle depot pick-up comes in. You can now skip the bottle depot and let the depot truck pick up your bottles so you can recycle them even from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a recycling bin and a way to transport your bottles. Once you have those, you can recycle them any time, day or night!

Here’s how you can get started in saving the environment by recycling bottles:

1. Find a recycling bin that fits your needs. There are many different sizes and styles of recycling bins available. Choose one that will be big enough to hold all of your bottles, but not so big that it’s difficult to move when it’s full.

2. Gather your bottles. You can recycle any type of bottle, including soda bottles, water bottles, and beer bottles.

3. Rinse out your bottles. This will help to keep your recycling bin clean.

4. Sort your bottles. Most recycling centers will have a system in place for sorting various types of bottles.

5. Leave your bottles outside your home and contact your local bottle depot. There is free bottle drive truck drop-off and pick-up within Calgary city limits.

Recycling is easy, and it’s a great way to help the environment. So next time you finish a drink, skip the Bottle Depot and recycle it from home. Here are five benefits of recycling.

1. Recycling plastic bottles saves energy -  it takes less energy to recycle a bottle than it does to create a new one from scratch.

2. Recycling plastic bottles reduces pollution - the manufacturing process of creating new plastic bottles creates pollution, but recycling them doesn’t.

3. Recycling plastic bottles conserves resources - it takes less water and oil to recycle a bottle than it does to create a new one.

4. Recycling plastic bottles create jobs - the recycling process creates jobs in sorting, cleaning, and manufacturing recycled products.

5. Bottle recycling is good for the economy - recycling saves businesses money on waste disposal costs and helps to support the recycled materials market.

The environment is getting worse and worse, with more people than ever before having an interest in preserving it. One way you can do that is: Recycle your old bottles! The more you recycle, the less of an impact you have on our landfills and oceans! So let us start doing our part for the environment. If you don’t have the time to visit any local depot, don’t forget that bottle depot pick-up is now a service available anywhere where you can skip the depot entirely, so you don’t have any reason not to recycle!
