What is the common misconception of trying to recycle bleach bottles?

Now, why do you think some label or think of bleach bottles as unrecyclable?

Of course, one would first think about its contents inside. The contents inside can indeed ruin the recyclability of a material. For example, pizza boxes smeared with grease are more often than not deemed unrecyclable, although some places do recycle them.

As a result, not enough plastic bottles (bleach bottles included) are recycled. Many are still thrown in the rubbish bin and left to rot in landfills, unfortunately. One reason Waster created this blog is to boost recycling.

Bleach bottles, in particular, contain harsh chemicals, hence the hesitation of many to recycle it. However, you can still recycle bleach bottles provided that you remove the contents inside. In other words, make sure the bottle/s is/are empty before recycling.

How are the bleach bottles cleaned before recycling?

You now know that you can indeed recycle bleach or cleaning product bottles: by cleaning it thoroughly. The question is: how is a bleach bottle cleaned before recycling?

First, you have to empty the bottles. Make sure that the bleach bottles are clear of their original contents before chucking it down the recycling bin. The harsh chemicals stored inside the bottles might ruin the recyclables, so it is best to empty them.

After emptying the bleach bottles, replace the lid for it to be properly recycled. With all of these processes done, you can now safely recycle bleach bottles. Recycling facilities usually transform plastic bleach bottles into recycled watering cans.

Why recycle bleach bottles?

The main reason why you should recycle bleach bottles is to sustain the environment. We manufacture products from virgin products all of the time. As a result, products accumulate which most of the time turns into waste just thrown into landfills.

Additionally, the use of virgin products consumes natural resources and energy makes this practice unsustainable in the long run. By recycling, we require less for production.
