CONSUMER ALERT Individual recycling efforts are making a difference in the amount of trash generated in Indiana and the United States says Attorney General Linley Pearson. “Individual consumers who have taken the time to recycle household waste should know that the idea of recycling is catching on,” Pearson says. “Businesses and individual homeowners are working to reduce the amount of trash that winds up in landfills across the country.” There are success stories with recycling efforts, Pearson says. “Many communities have established recycling centers which accept newspapers, glass, plastics and aluminum. In some areas consumers must take the items to a drop site or to a centralized recycling center, and other communities have established curb side pickup of separated items which can be recycled,” Pearson says. Pearson says some plastics are difficult to recycle because they contain elements that are not easily broken down for reuse. One type of plastic being recycled is that which is used in soda bottles and milk jugs. As more companies begin using recycleable plastic, recycling efforts will increase, Pear-

son predicts. Meanwhile, some manufacturers are marketing detergent and cleaning supplies in refill sizes that can be diluted with water and mixed in the original plastic container. Fast food restaurants have stopped using the foam packaging and switched to paper packages. Newspapers have long been popular in recycling efforts, usually by youth organizations. Consumers who want to recycle newspapers should contact local recycling centers to determine if newspapers are being accepted. Many homeowners advocate using newspapers in compost piles, or under mulch around gardens. Glass bottles are also being recycled because making new glass containers from old glass saves not only landfill space but energy as well. Many consumers buy soft drinks in returnable bottles instead of plastic bottles or cans. Pearson says motor oil is another item that can be recycled, often in your own neighborhood. Ask attendants at gas stations if they will accept used motor oil or check into oil recycling facilities. “It’s not a good idea to pour used motor oil into sewage systems, water channels or directly onto the ground because ground water can be contaminated,” Pearson says. Alkaline batteries are another

product that can be recycled, but few centers exist. Check with local officials to determine if there are locations that accept used batteries, Pearson suggests. Consumers can use rechargeable batteries which last longer than alkaline batteries. Pearson says consumers who dispose of yard waste by putting it in trash bags should consider making a compost pile. Organic yard waste can be placed in a pile or in a compost bin, to which ash, vegetables and other organic material can be added. The pile should be turned to speed the composting process. After several months, the pile will break down into a substance resembling mulch, which can be used in indoor and outdoor gardening. Pearson says consumers who are concerned about recycling can also purchase recycled products whenever possible. “Many household items are packaged in recycled containers, and books and stationary are now being manufactured with recycled paper,” Pearson says. “Every effort — whether by businesses or individual consumers — helps.” The globefish staves off predators by gulping a large quantity of water, till it becomes simply too large to be swallowed by its enemies.
