11 Recycling Facts for 2016

Recycling Week 2016

It was Repak Recycling Week 2016, recently and Reuse Month is coming this October. These named weeks and months are established to promoted the importance of  reuse and recycling. They offers you,  your kids, family, friends and colleagues an opportunity to refresh on how to reduce, reuse and recycle and learn some facts about how we are doing as a nation.

Its worth noting recycling is a very effective  economic development tool as well as an environment saver. The mantra of Reduce, Reuse  Recycling offers direct employment opportunities and can reduce environmental concerns in communities.

 When items are collected with skill and care, some can be fixed for reuse and others disassembled becoming a resource that contributes to local income, jobs, business expansion, and the local economy.

Repak recently released figures noting that 98% of Irish people know how important recycling is, yet there’s still work to be done. Even though most of us recycle, there are still issues around recycling contamination meaning that even those of us with the best intentions are actually putting the wrong things in that green bin. Contamination in your recycling bin can be as high as 36%.

Don’t Bin Electronic and Electrical Items  

When you think of electronic or electrical waste equipment (WEEE) or e-waste, do you think of items like computers, radios, light bulbs, zip disks, and tapes drives, clock alarms or wall clocks, even cameras, it’s really any items with computerised parts.

These items and similar are adding to an ever increasing e-waste mountain and the pile usually starts building in people’s homes. We know  electrical or electronic items  are not recycled as easily or as frequently as other recyclable materials such as paper, glass or plastics. Some of the items are very large and hard to recycle, others are small and have a personal or perceived value so people don’t want to let them go!

Lets share some facts! 

1. Generally the original owner of a laptop will keep it only three years before it is tossed. Mobile phones last 24 months or less.
2. It is estimated in 2013 that 84% of all Irish households have access to a computer at home with the figure highest in Dublin region where 86% of all households have a computer (CSO 2013)
3. There were 5,432,182 active mobile phone subscriptions at the end of March 2013 which works out as 1.185 mobile phones for every person in Ireland (ComReg)
4. Recycling electronic and electrical equipment allows materials to be reused, and re-using materials creates new jobs.
5. Recycling just one computer has a positive impact on stopping electronic waste pollution.
6. Between 1950 and 2005, worldwide metals production grew six times.
7. Electronic waste can contain more than 1,000 components, many of which are toxic, including heavy metals like lead, mercury and cadmium.
8. Nokia report that globally, 74% of consumers don’t think about recycling mobile phones, despite the fact that around the same number, 72%, think recycling makes a difference to the environment.
9. Technology and IT equipment make up only 6% of the overall WEEE recycled in Ireland (WEEE Ireland Report 2014)
10. Computers, laptops and tablets are not designed to be recycled mechanically – they are difficult to take apart, many of the materials cannot be easily identified. It takes real manual effort to extract components. (Recycle IT 2015)
11. Recycling helps to conserve energy and as a result less greenhouse gases are emitted

There are many ways that recycling helps our environment. Why not try to remember and introduce these 5 points.

• A reduction in landfill and industrial waste by reuse or recycling.
• Reduced energy usage by reuse or recycling.
• Less pollution through reuse or recycling.
• Increased employment by reuse or recycling.
• Sustainable usage of nature resources by reuse and recycling.

When Irish people wish to make a point, they usually do it well. This needs to be the case with reduce, reuse and recycling

By recycling, your positive actions makes you part of the solution rather than part of a global problem. As local communities we must plan and first take steps to reduce the amount of waste and including e-waste that is clogging up our lives .

Making sure that recyclable items such as computers don’t end up in the wrong bin, landfills or illegally dumped is an important step toward green living and environmental conservation for future generation.

Moving House and Home – 10 Tips

Moving House and Home

In 2014 ‘BBC Future’ did some investigations to find out “Is moving home one of life’s most stressful events. At that time the team found that actual studies looking at the stress of moving house were few and far between.

Packing Boxes – Moving home

Research

During 2015 E. ON the energy company provided a solution. They surveyed 2000 people who had moved home in the previous three years. The research revealed 61% of those surveyed placed the ordeal at the top of their stress list, so it’s true, moving is stressful.

Some of the that stress might be caused by the fact that removal firms unusually work out the cost for your move by the volume of items that you have to transport to your new home.  Reducing that volume might save you money and creates an opportunity to recycle. In fact, it creates a wonderful opportunity to declutter by listing items that are broken or unneeded. It’s an excellent motivator to share unwanted items with others or recycle items no longer required .

It’s a good idea to start with the attic and garage in the weeks before your move, as removal teams will want to do a pre-move checklist of your belongings. This helps assess how much stuff needs to be moved and gives an idea of wants involved in your house move!

Moving Checklist.

What to Recycle

People are still surprised by the number of objects that can be recycled. Recycling goes way beyond glass, plastic, paper and tins that your waste company takes from your house. Commonly recycled items from homes include furniture, clothing, electrical goods, batteries, bulbs, or old toys. These can all be recycled prior to moving home.

Recycled appliances like tumble dryers and washing machines can be repurposed or converted into new products. Recycling allows home movers to clear out old items and reduce the cost of the removal, it can also help to protect our environment and conserve natural resources.

10 Moving Tips

1. In the weeks and days leading up to your house move, use up perishables such as soap, shampoo, conditioners, moisturizer, detergent, and cleaning products and recycle the plastic bottles before your moving date.
2. All electronic and electricals equipment (e.g. computers, toasters, heaters or kettles) contain some precious metallic elements like gold, silver, copper and aluminum that can be reused. Recycling these items saves valuable new resources.
3. Petrol, paint and oils should be disposed of before moving home. Many removal companies will not move your petrol lawnmower if it is not emptied of all petrol and oil and paint are heavy and will cost you money to move.
4. Fuel such as coal or oil should be included in the sale of the house or used well in advance of moving.
5. Kids toys, clothes or bikes can be offered to charity shops, social enterprises, family shelters or housing projects. If damaged they be recycled at a civic amenity recycling centres. Some recycling centres take a range of items manufactured from plastics, metals and wood.
6. Following your move, you have lots of packing boxes. The boxes may be supplied by moving company so they can be given back. If not the boxes are most likely to be made from recyclable materials, so should be able to be added to your paper recycling bin. If you have a large number that will not fit, they can be taken to your nearest civic amenity site.
7. Taking pictures of wire connections on electronic equipment such as computers as it will help you set them up properly in your new home.
8. Label boxes by room and number them to ensure you have them all on arrival at your new house.
9. Make sure you have lots of help at hand to pack and lift boxes and equipment.
10. Finally, there may be items that you wish to dispose but it may not be easy to find a recycler! Here are 10 community based organisations who can help to reduce your belongings before your house move.

Recycling Toys

Toy Recycling

Toys help create an imaginative world of play, they can help build social skills and ease demands on parents!  Sometimes the most expensive toy are not the best option as kids enjoy playing with items from their home. They can build props like a play house or space rocket out of a reused cardboard boxes and tubes, creating their own special world.

Most homes with kids do have lots of toys. Storage containers are filled to the brim with, dolls, action figures, building blocks, cars, remote controlled flyering machines, games devices,  and many other items. Our questions is, what do parents and children do with the old favorites when the new games arrive?

Recycle IT have a looked at some options on your behalf and listed them below.

Recycling Toys

Toy Reuse 

When your kids have made the most of their old toys, they can always become a new favorite for another child or family. For toys and games that are in good condition, finding the toy a new home is the most eco-friendly thing is do.

Some ideas include

• Arrange a toy swap shop with families in the community.
• Car boot sale with proceeds offered to your local child support group.
• Donate the toy to a charity shop.
• Offer toys to a children’s hospital, children shelter, crèche or montessori.
• Include in your schools shoe box appeal for shipment to other countries across the world.

Broken Toys and Games

Parent can always try to fixed toys by replacing broken or missing parts. Toy repair maybe possible, with toy makers such as Mattel, Fisher-Price and Lego replacing or selling you replacement pieces. There are also services that can repair broken toys, such as the Doll’s Hospital and Teddy Bear Clinic in Dublin. Some toys, like board games or toys with lots of small parts, might be re-purposed for arts and crafts use. You can also use various bits and bobs from toys to create mosaics, jewellery or pictures and get the kids involved.

Recycle IT – Mini Recycling

Plastic Toys

Plastic toys that are broken or missing parts might be able to be recycled, depending on what type of plastic they’re made from. If the plastic number is not indicated on the toy or the packaging (if you even still have the packaging), you might be able to contact the manufacturer to find out what it’s made from, and then check with your local authority to make sure that your local recycling centre accepts that type of plastic. Alternatively you might consider letting kids build their own creations from disused plastic toys.

Electronic Toys

Toys with computer chips, computer screens, lights, noise, plugs, batteries or other electronic components can and should be recycled. They should not be added to the domestic waste. We know from experience this is not the case as very few electrical toys make their way to us for recycling. Recycle IT offer a collection and drop off services and will accept electrical and electronic toys including games consoles, cameras, tablets, remote control cars or planes, dolls, action figures, watches or replica phones. The list is endless but any toy with a plug or battery is acceptable for recycling.

Kids Plane – Plastic and Electronic

Finally… 

Recycling and repurposing is environmentally responsible. You should involve your children and ensure they understand the concept of recycling and the value old or broken toys have for others. Reused toys can bring joy to a child or recycling can help create a job!

Managing Summer Clutter

Reduce your clutter this Summer

Recent research in the UK suggests homes are now packed to the roof with clutter.  The most cluttered room in the house is the main bedroom, followed by spare bedrooms with generation x (aged between 35 and 44) hoarding the most. (Source: Lloyd’s TSB)

Research by the National Association of Professional Organizations shows there is a direct correlation between productivity and clutter. Did you know your productivity declines when clutter and chaos rise. Can piles of paper, disorganisation and information mismanagement take over your office at home or in work?

Recycle IT – Summer Clutter

In Ireland a 2015 study found that on average two in five Irish adults (38%) consider themselves to be a hoarder, meaning more clutter (Source: Empathy Research) The research commissioned by NESTA outlined 58% of respondents found it hard to get rid of their possessions. WEEE Ireland report approx 1 in 4 or 25% of Irish people are hoarding or throwing out electrical waste at home.

Based on this research and our hands on experience in collecting and recycling electrical and electronic equipment, people do hoard items in the belief they might be useful one day. Gadgets and appliances are moved to sheds, stores, attics, cupboards, and drawers. and rarely seen again. We all know technology, functionally, design and appearance changes at speed and appliances become dated in no time.

The internal conflict 

Kids fight a battle for the latest gadgets and eventually parents and grandparents give in. Across the world people are buying approx 270 million PC’s a year. With 1.37 million homes in Ireland owning a computer, where do the older models go?

Office Clutter – Recycle IT

Weather at home or in work reducing clutter helps create space, demonstrates a willingness to change and if done correctly ensures products can be reused or recycled for future use. Recycling can also help create jobs and increased environmental awareness.
