<center id="e206k"></center> When it comes to recycling the household waste, people have done it for about two decades. However, there's still some confusion about what can and what can't be recycled. With advances in technology, there are more things that can be recycled.
COFFEE PODS (咖啡莢)
On average, Australians are using more than three million coffee pods per day, and about 1.5 million households have coffee machines. While the pods are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled. Nespresso has a free post-back programme and drop-off points run by TerraCycle, so you can take the pods and directly drop off at Nespresso stores.
LIGHT BULBS
Rather than throwing light bulbs into the bin, some councils run specific recycling stations, which allow you to drop off these kinds of items. If you do regularly recycle household glass, remember all glass should be washed and have lids removed.
PIZZA BOXES
Normally pizza boxes don't make it into recycling because they're covered in grease (油脂) and leftover bits of cheese. When a pizza box is too greasy, it won't be taken to a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. If the pizza box can't be recycled, tear off the lid which can still be recycled.
HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES
Household batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled.
C To exchange coffee machines. D. To warn people of the harm of coffee.
