I’ve been in a family who recycles all my life, so it was easy to be a recycler as an adult. Other people have not grown up that way, so recycling may be harder for them. I know Mr. Ivy often forgets and throws recyclable materials away.

Clutter Control Freak blog has a handy dandy list as to what the recycling numbers printed on plastics mean and if they are recyclable. I am so printing this out for Mr. Ivy, he often claims he forgets which plastics are recyclable and which are not. Thanks, Clutter Control Freak!
