Solution

The act of recycling is an relatively easy task that leaves a relatively huge impact on the environment. Recycling reduces landfill waste, energy consumption, pollution, and overall cost. However, recycling can get confusing. It's not even a matter of common sense. Say I have a used tissue, do I trash it, or do I recycle it? It's technically paper, but it's also technically covered in snot. My solution to this is simple and cost effective; compile a list similar to this and have relevant information printed onto the recycle, trash, and compost bins respectively. In doing so, you'll essentially eliminate all recycling confusion.

Note: Don't recycle the used tissue, that's just nasty.
