5 Items You Didn’t Know You Could Recycle
As you go to lift the lids of your recycling and waste bins, you may hesitate over which one to put your “rubbish” in. In a world that’s focusing more on sustainability than ever before, it’s quite essential to consider what you can recycle and what you can’t.
Even though many recycling centres have a list of do’s and don’ts, that doesn’t mean that products not on that list won’t make the cut. Confused about what you can and can’t recycle? Here are a few things you can recycle, but may not have realised.

Aerosol cans have always been a little tricky. They are covered in warning and hazard labels and don’t seem like the easiest thing to recycle. But those who throw them in their waste bin often have a little hesitation. Surely, they can’t be doing much good for the environment? You’d be right.
Fortunately, you can recycle aerosol cans, including the deodorant variety. Pop them in your home recycling bin and enjoy peace of mind at knowing they will not be destined for the landfill.
