What is this Recycle Garbage?

I don’t know about you, but I’m confused about what I should toss into the recycle bin.  Sure, aluminum drink cans and beverage bottles are easy–everyone knows that. But the rest of it?

I used to go by the “recycle” triangle. Then I learned that numbers 3-7 can not be recycled. (So why do they have that triangle?!)  I learned, too, that boxes that have food residue in them (like the bottoms of pizza boxes) can NOT be recycled. And my frustration continues.

Anyway, I found this video very helpful.  It gives me some clear guidelines. Now I’m more comfortable in my recycling.  I hope it helps you, too.
