Of course, nobody wants to spend half an hour trying to find out whether something can be recycled. Everybody needs a quick and reliable guide to the issue: what can I recycle, where should I bring it, and what special things do I have to know when throwing away an item?
Unfortunately, the recycling rules are far from being universal. There are things that are accepted by some local recycling programs but not accepted by others. Some things go to curbside recycling bins, other have to be taken somewhere else.
