How to Start a Plastic Recycling Center
- 1). Research your local recycling laws. When you start your recycling center from home, it is much like starting your own business. Follow all local, state and federal laws to the letter to avoid any fines or legal action.
- 2). Set aside an area just for your recycling center. Calculate more space then you think you need. You might be surprised at how fast your little home recycling center can fill up. Some acceptable places are a garage, shed or kitchen. Leasing a small office building is another alternative.
- 3). Educate your friends and family about recycling. Try to get them involved in your movement. Working with friends and family can make your work more enjoyable. The extra hands are also a big help.
- 4). Schedule regular visits to a recycling compound to dump collected materials. Share this task with friends and family members to save time and gas. Schedule the visits as often as you think necessary to prevent your workplace from getting overfilled.
