Well, I try to recycle my garbage, but there are things that I doubtly think they can recycle, like juice and milk packages, because they are made of plastic+aluminium+paper... What do u think?

STOP.... Don't ever try to do that again. i will try to tell you an example. there is that Indian Mother, who went to England, and tried to dry the milk-plastic packs, under the stairs, and, the municipality authorities, raided the house, and QUARANTINED the entire area.. for the foul smell, and fined the poor son, an exhorbitant sum of money, for doing the unscientific and unhygeinic method of recycling. so, dear friend, Don't ever do the recycling job, at home. It is better left to the properly trained authorities.

I never tried to recycle the garbage at home :/... When I say that I recycle my garbage, I mean that I'm putting the garbage in special litter bins. However, I doubtly think that trained authorities can recycle juice or milk packages, because they are made different compounds, which are extremely difficult to separate.

that is very wonderful of you. I just tried to warn you though, of the complications, if you try to do that at home.. and, Professionals have the technique, and machinery to do the seperation, and cleaning.. and processing. There are now POWER-PLANTS, which use these specially enriched garbage, to be used as fuel to generate electricity. thanks for an environment friendly topic.

Well in the Uk where i am at the moment everything can be recycled including milk cartons, almunium and paper we have separate bins to put them in. I recycle everything that i can as i do not like to be seen as someone who is damaging the planet.

it is wonderful to recycle, to save mother earth.. but, leave it to the professionals. It is not safe, and it is harmful to the environment, even if you store the garbage separately! ..
