It's a common and widely known fact, but also widely ignored, that the repercussion of poor,

or completely missing of garbage separation holds the blame for great disasters that swallow

the earth slowly, as the years go by. For instance, millions of sea creatures get poisoned by

recyclable plastics that wind up in the ocean, thusly polluting humans who consume them,

too. It's usually caused by lack of interest, not knowledge and it creates a "butterfly-effect"

chain that disadvantages the planet.

To encapsulate what's really happening, when a person doesn't seperate their recyclable

garbage from their non-recyclable, all the waste ends up in recycling facilities and slow the

process down, usually leading countries, cities and facilities to completely shut it down.

Therefore, all recyclable products end up in wastelands (or, as previously mentioned, the

ocean), consequently disactivating the hope of a healtier home dor human beings.

As a representative of the 1st High School of Corfu, Greece i would like to recommend

everyone reading this note to encourage themselves and the people that surround them to

act more green, because in the end of the day, it's just a matter of picking the right disposal bin!

How can we recycle electrical appliances?

What waste we throw in each bin

Blue, brown, cone, conventional bin. Everyone accepts theirs!

In the blue bins we empty the recycling bags, i.e. we throw waste without the bag or with the bag open because this makes it easier to sort the waste that follows.

We make sure that all the packaging we throw in the recycling is empty, with no contents. But we don't throw away just any garbage. Only:

Paper

Glass, but not broken

Plastics

Aluminium

Tinplate

We never throw away organic or other garbage. One wrong piece of trash, invalidates the recycling of the entire bin! Under no circumstances should injections and medical waste (special treatment is required), batteries (there are battery recycling slots in many stores), electrical appliances of any kind, twigs and branches, construction materials and soil be placed in the recycling bins.

Only biodegradable or organic waste, i.e. peelings, fruit and vegetables, leaves and grass, food scraps, raw or cooked food, is thrown in the brown bins. But never in their packaging. Put it in the bin in paper or biodegradable bags. In this way we also contribute to turning our organic waste into fertiliser through the composting process.

We only put glass in the cones or bells, without bags.

The other bins are... for all other household waste! Including their bags - tied up! This way, they smell less and the street and sidewalk are not littered with loose garbage.

The mistaken of recycling

Broken glass: Glass packaging is recycled, but broken glass is not. Broken glass is thrown away only in the common bins.

We only throw broken glass in the recycling bin: Pizza boxes and ready-to-eat food packaging are full of oils and grease and are not recyclable.

Biodegradable or photodegradable bags: Biodegradable or photodegradable bags, mainly available from supermarkets, have an expiration date and at a certain point they start to decompose. They are therefore not recycled.

Paper shreds: The blue bin system cannot handle pieces of paper that are smaller than an A4 sized page.

Paper that is no larger than an A4-size sheet of paper that is no larger than an A4-size piece of paper: Soiled paper towels or pieces of oily paper not only cannot be recycled, but also render other recyclable materials unusable. It is advisable not to put kitchen and toilet paper in the blue bins, even if they are clean.

Clay materials: Several everyday items such as old coffee cups should not be thrown in the blue bin because recycling them is not an easy task at all.

The most common types of waste are foam and Styrofoam: As they are highly flammable materials, throwing them in the blue bins creates problems.

Packaging of toxic materials: Plastic or metal packaging that contained mineral oils, antifreeze, insecticides, etc. should not be thrown into the blue bins because the residues of the toxic materials are difficult to remove.

CD, DVD and video cassette discs: Although they are mainly made of aluminium, they contain many contaminants, making it impossible to recycle them directly.

Straws and plastic cutlery: These single-use materials are not easily managed and recycled by recycling systems.

Plastic furniture: Bulky plastic items should be directed to the bulky item collection centres that each municipality is required to have.

Wire hangers: Most of them have plastic parts as well, thus there is a risk of mixing the two materials. Therefore, either separate the wire from the plastic or put them in the common rubbish bins.

Telecards: They are not considered packaging, so they should not be put in the blue bins. The only solution is reuse (e.g. decorative materials and toys).

Plastic bottle caps: While plastic bottles are a basic recyclable material, their caps are recycled in a different way. Therefore, they should be removed and disposed of separately in the blue bin.

Juice cans: Some juice boxes are not recycled due to the combination of plastic and cardboard. Before throwing it in the blue bin, we must check if it is marked as suitable for recycling.

What we can do with the oil we fried or with leftover food?
