6 . How to Properly Recycle Your Paper and Cardboard

If you receive pizza deliveries or packages regularly, you probably have a pile of empty boxes sitting somewhere in your house.     1     For example, the pizza boxes you’ve been “recycling” are actually getting thrown away by employees at the recycling center.     2     Due to Earth Day, we’ll help make sure you’re recycling them the right way.

According to the University of Southern Indiana, one billion trees’ worth of paper is thrown in the trash annually — and that’s just in the US. I spoke with some recycling experts and here’s what I found out about the right way to recycle paper and cardboard.

    3     For example, you can recycle a delivery box, but not a contaminated(受污染的)pizza box. This is because the oils from the pizza saturate(浸透)the cardboard, making it unrecyclable.     4     A recycling center employee advised cutting out the contaminated part of the cardboard and placing it in your compost(堆肥)bin.

Before you bring the cardboard to your nearest recycling center or put it in a bin for pickup, break the boxes down so that they’re lying flat.     5     If possible, remove the tape from the boxes before taking the cardboard to the recycling center, as well. Saving the employees a step can help make the recycling process more efficient.

A．This helps make more room in the bin.

B．It helps protect the other materials in the bin.

C．There’s a right way to recycle your paper and cardboard.

D．Therefore it’s important that we make sure to recycle as much as we can.

E．However, it is not completely impossible to recycle contaminated boxes.

F．While you may think you can recycle any cardboard and paper, that’s not the case.

G．The same goes for the shiny wrapping paper you thought would be fine to put into the paper recycling.

9 . A report from Greenpeace USA shows only a small amount of the plastic we think we’re recycling is actually getting recycled. The rest of it is transported to landfills(废弃物填埋场).

“It was surprising, even to us,” says John Hocevar, Greenpeace USA’s Oceans Campaign Director. “There are billions of us going through trillions and trillions of throwaway plastic items a year. Almost none of that is recycled.”

According to the report, only 8.4% of the total post-consumer plastic waste created in the USA is recycled. That’s out of nearly 35 million tons of materials.

Ian Monahan from I Love a Clean San Diego says they’ve been working for years to educate people around the county about what should and should not be put in the blue recycling bins(回收箱).

The county has a website, waste freesd.org, which includes a full database of recyclable items and also runs a customer service hotline for people to ask questions. Monahan says people in San Diego can feel confident in putting #1 PET (common water and soda bottles) and #2 HDPE (plastic jugs and household bottles) plastics in their bins, as well as most other kinds of rigid(具刚性的) plastic.

But the long-term future of recycling is up in the air. In 2018, China, which had been the largest importer of recyclable materials, stopped buying recyclable plastic from the USA. What’s more, the cost of making new plastic is now cheaper than recycling old items. Therefore, Monahan says people need to focus more on “reduce” and “reuse”, and less on “recycle”.

Monahan suggests people who want to do better should pick one plastic item to eliminate(消除) a month, like straws(吸管). As they get used to that, they can eliminate another, and eventually, he says, they can reduce the need for plastic altogether.

To help, Greenpeace USA is putting pressure on companies to stop using plastic packaging,   and also fighting for tougher standards to make sure items marked as recyclable can actually be recycled.

B．Its people want more recycling bins.

C．It has no market for recycled products.

D．Its people are able to recycle all kinds of plastic.

2. Why does Monahan say people need to focus less on “recycle”?

A．Recycled plastic has little value.

B．Recycling is very hard to achieve.

C．There will be less recyclable plastic.

D．The USA hasn’t made strict recycling rules.

3. What does Monahan suggest people do?

A．Refuse to use throwaway plastic.

B．Throw one plastic item at a time.

C．Use less and less plastic gradually.

D．Force companies to produce less plastic.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Recyclable plastic just a small part of the problem

C．Recycled plastic not always exported

D．Recyclable plastic not always recycled

10 . Recycling is good for our planet, but it can be confusing. Can I recycle plastic bags? What about pizza cartons? Toothpaste tubes? Which bin should I use? There are so many questions, and more than half of Americans are unsure about how to recycle.     1     Here’s a handy four-step guide on how to recycle effectively:

Know what to put in the recycling bin. Keep it simple and focus on the most commonly recycled items, such as paper, glass, aluminum and plastic.     2     Don’t use the recycled symbol as a guide. “The number on the container is really for people to identify the type of resin (树脂). That’s not helpful for the common consumer,” said Cody Marshall, a strategist at nonprofit Recycling Partnership.

    3     It is really important to know what you cannot put in your bin. You can always check with your city or at BeRecycled.org. If you live in the US, just plug in your postcode to search. Recycling companies struggle with the same problem items: hoses (软管), cords, needles and clothing, according to Marshall, so don’t put those items in your bin.

Wash or clean items. Do a quick clean to make sure there is no food left in containers before you put them in the bin.     4     Save food for composting (堆肥) in your garden.

Don’t bag it. Unless you live in a place that requires it, like New York City, keep the recyclables lost in the bin. “A lot of the time, it’s not safe for our employees to tear those bags open, or it takes too much time,” said Keller. “    5    ”

A．Know what is not recyclable.

B．The answers are not hard to find.

C．A lot of bagged stuff goes right to the landfill.

D．Plastic bags can be used again or returned to grocery stores.

E．If you really don’t know if an item is recyclable, then just throw it in the garbage.

F．This is really important if you only use one bin because food items could ruin paper.

G．Hard plastics like water and soft drink bottles or anything like these can be recycled.
