Recycling bins are an important part in the recycling process

Recycling bins are an important starting point in the recycling process. Recycling involves processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy. The humble recycling bin is by far one of the most important starting points for the recycling process.
Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste – such as food or garden waste – is not typically considered recycling.
Materials to be recycled are first put into the correct bin in the recycling bin, which is then picked up by your rubbish truck which is then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing. In a strict sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material—for example, used office paper would be converted into new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so “recycling” of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (e.g., paperboard) instead. Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value (e.g., lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components), or due to their hazardous nature (e.g., removal and reuse of mercury from various items).
The use of a recycling bin also plays an important part in helping to reduce carbon emissions. Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution.
As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change. Current UK recycling is estimated to save more than 18 million tonnes of C02 a year – the equivalent to taking 5 million cars off the road. Recycling uses less energy and produces less pollution than making things from scratch.
For example:-Making Aluminium cans from old ones uses one twelfth of the energy to make them from raw materials.For glass bottles, 315kg of CO2 is saved per tonne of glass recycled after taking into account the transportation and processing.Making bags from recycled polythene takes one third the Sulphur Dioxide and half the Nitrous Oxide, than making them from scratch.

The recycle bin in Windows is a handy way to keep deleted files just in case they ever need to be brought back. That’s why it’s called the “recycle bin” as opposed to, say, the File Disintegrator. However, you may wish to bypass the recycle bin when deleting a file or, if you’re really brave, turn off delete confirmation too. (01:35)

Best Kitchen Bins For Under £100
With the recession slowly fading away and spring time just round the corner I decided to have a little redecoration of my kitchen with the intention of living on more than beans on toast. After spending more than I’d like on wallpaper, flooring and work surfaces, I was shocked at how expensive kitchen “accessories” were, with people asking for hundreds of pounds for kitchen bins, I thought I go on a hunt for some affordable and stylish kitchen bins.

Recycling is now part of nearly everybody’s life. ‘Taking out the trash’ now involves more than just dumping a black bag out the front for the dustman or garbage collector to pick up. Recycling is now not just an ethical past time but in many areas is also a legal civic duty, with fines and sanctions often given to residents who fail to recycle properly.

Traditional hardwood cutting boards are a mainstay in the kitchen, whether it is a modern style or an older one handed down from one generation to the next. The kind of hardwood used for butcher block style cutting boards has been rock maple, a hardwood with the ability to withstand a lot of cutting with very sharp knives. The end pieces are often made into a cutting board that will last years because the wood cells move aside just a bit as the knife enters, then they move back.
