Contamination makes the recycling process more difficult. I will review which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my county and recycle only those items. 

I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

I will make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 1 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

I will recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.
