Recycling in Los Angeles

If you're reading this blog, you probably already recycle. Well, you can pretty easily start recycling a lot more, with a little information. We all know you can throw aluminum cans, glass bottles and newspapers in the blue recycling bins. But that's just the tip of the iceberg... You can recycle a huge portion of the food packaging you encounter, junk mail, the cans from all your canned foods, plastic & paper shopping bags and more! At my house we are very good recyclers. For every bag of trash we have to take out, we pretty much have at least one bag of recycling as well.

Check out the LA Bureau of Sanitation's list of what you can throw into the bins.
