What CAN and CANNOT be recycled?

ASPIRATIONAL recyclers are WELL-INTENTIONED people who put things in our recycle bins that do not belong there. We believe recycling is good for the ENVIRONMENT and we want to do our part to reduce waste going to landfills. We feel good about ourselves when we recycle items instead of putting them in the trash.
