Have Recycling Bins - Having recycling bins set up around your house or your workplace will make it easier for you to actual recycle. You might want a paper bin by the front door to throw flyers and newspapers into if you get a lot of mail you do not look at or a box in the kitchen for tin cans or drink bottles.
Giveaway - If you have items that you no longer need but are still in good condition, give them away or sell them. If you are not sure where to get rid of them, look for free cycle groups or list them on the local classifieds. If you do not want the bother, there is a good chance you can find local charities that will take these off your hands.
Recycle Electronics - With more and more electronic devices out there, many programs have been established to deal with electronics past their prime. Check with your phone company if you have a cell phone you no longer use; the office supply store to deal with printer cartridges; and see if the local recycling depots can do something with the computers and televisions. It is also a good idea to check your city's website as they likely list places where you can recycle a wide variety of items including these electronics.
