Did you know that you can significantly reduce your spending by simply employing recycling methods? Saving a couple of hundred dollars every year is a big deal, especially when you have a lot of bills to pay.

It’s time to pay conscious attention to how much money you are wasting at home and time to use the following recycling tips:

1. Take your empty cans and bottles to a recycling depot in Vancouver.

Your empty bottles and cans have a deposit and you can get that money back if you take them to recycling depot services in Vancouver such as BC Bottle Depot. Not only do you get your deposit back, you have also contributed to the betterment of the environment and to the decluttering of your home.

Recycling depots also accept old electronics. Most households have a lot of old electronics that they don’t know how to dispose of. That can easily turn into cash if you take them to a recycling depot.

2. Catch rainwater.

There’s a rainwater catchment you can buy. Use this to catch rain coming from your roof. You can use this water to clean your driveway or water your lawn, reducing your water bills.

3. Make shopping bags out of old fabric.

Rather than buy your very own Eco-bag, make your own by up cycling old clothes, bed covers or pillowcases.

4. Turn old kitchenware into gardening tools.

That old colander can be used as a pot for hanging plants. Pots and old basins can also be up cycled and turned into planters.

There’s really no limit as to how much you can recycle at home. You can save tons of money if you know how to use your creativity and resourcefulness.
