5 Tips to Help Start a Habit of Recycling in Your Home!

Have you thought about taking steps towards recycling in your kitchen but you're not sure where to start? Recycling is great for the environment because less of our waste goes into landfills. Let's face it, most of our trash and waste come from the kitchen and if you don't know how to start recycling, our cabinet company at the Lake of the Ozarks has some tips for recycling in your in-home.


#1 Learn About Your Local Recycling Center 

Before you begin recycling, it's important to learn about your local recycling center. You will need to figure out what kinds of materials they accept, how it should be separated, and if they offer a pickup service or if you will need to bring your recycling products to their recycling location.

#2 Set Up a Recycling System in Your Kitchen 

If you don't make recycling easy and convenient, the odds of keeping up with it are slim. Once you figure out how you should separate your items, set up a recycling system with different bins to make sorting and disposing of your recycled items easy and convenient.

#3 Cabinet Solutions for Recycling

Creating a sorting station in your kitchen is the best and easiest way to sort your recyclables. Ragan Cabinets offers semi-custom cabinets at the Lake of the Ozarks and our cabinet accessories make creating a sorting station easy! When you choose us for your Lake of the Ozarks cabinet company, we want to help you build a design that aligns with your lifestyle. Our pullout cabinets are perfect for organizing your recycled items.

Plus, when you incorporate a recycling station inside your cabinet, it will discreetly keep your recycled items out of sight and out of mind and not impede on your kitchen design. When you have a system for recycling, it's easy to make it a habit!

#4 Be Intentional

If you want to start recycling, being intentional about it is important. Make your life easier by setting reminders for recycling days and having multiple trash cans in your kitchen. 

#5 Get the Entire Family on Board 

If you want to take the steps to be a "greener" household, it's important to get the whole family involved. If you have kids sometimes it can be hard for them to understand the difference between trash and what can be recycled. It's important to make it fun for them and explain to them in easy ways to understand. Labeling helps as well and can go a long way!

We hope that you found our tips helpful and you will take the plunge to a "greener" kitchen and home!
