Recycling Tips for Kids
Recycling isn’t just a smart thing to do, it’s a cool thing to do.
Recycling glass
Make sure you don’t recycle broken glass, just bottles that are unbroken because it’s hard to process and sort broken glass and other sharp objects. Broken glass can be dangerous for you and the people that need to pick it up. So not only be smart but be careful.
