Recycling and Bins
Taking care of our planet starts at home. The first step is to recycle (reciclar). When you have empty packages, you will need to put them in the correct recycling bin (el contenedor).
| We have to recycle at home. | Tenemos que reciclar en casa. |
In Spain, you will find different colored bins on the street for different materials. For example, paper and cardboard (el cartón) go in the blue bin, while glass (el vidrio) goes in the green bin.
| You have to put the cardboard in the blue bin. | Tienes que meter el cartón en el contenedor azul. |
| The glass goes in the green bin. | El vidrio va al contenedor verde. |
Sorting Waste
To make sure everything goes to the right bin, it is important to sort (clasificar) your household waste (el residuo).
| It is important to sort the plastic and the cardboard. | Es importante clasificar el plástico y el cartón. |
| We have to sort the waste at home. | Tenemos que clasificar los residuos en casa. |
Reusing and the Environment
Recycling is great, but it is even better to reuse (reutilizar) things when you can. These small habits help us protect the environment (el medio ambiente).
| Not only do we recycle, but we also reuse. | No solo reciclamos, sino que también reutilizamos. |
