Green is the word on everyone’s minds these days. We want to start embracing greener practices so that we can have a world to enjoy for many years to come. One of the best ways to be green is to stop throwing away stuff that can be recycled or re-used.

Here are some important things to remember to never just throw away:

• Cell phones and cell phone accessories. You should recycle all cell phones, cellular phone chargers, cell phone batteries and wireless headsets. You should try to recycle all electronics that you are getting rid of since they do a lot of damage in landfills.
• Food scraps. So many people are still throwing away their food scraps. These should be used for composting in gardens instead of tossed in the trash. If you don’t have a garden, save your food scraps and donate them to a neighbor’s garden.
• Bags. There are plastic bag recycling programs in almost all grocery stores so there is no reason to be throwing away these bags. Paper bags can also be recycled. Better yet, get canvas bags and stop using plastic ones all together.

Be responsible about being green by making sure not to throw away things that shouldn’t be put into the trash.
