Like most consumers, you're probably super willing to recycle. But the problem is that there are some things that you likely think are recyclable, but actually aren’t. For example, common mistakes include putting tissue boxes in the recycling bin without first removing the plastic insert, or trying to recycle an old, greasy pizza box. The issue is that these items will contaminate the rest of the recyclables, resulting in a lot of stuff being thrown away at the recycling plant!
