How to Recycle Paper at Home
Paper is used in different forms such as magazines, newspapers, documents, calendars and plain pages. Once you use all of that, it goes to waste. Some people visit a local recycling centre in order to get the paper products recycled, which is quite good for the environment.
However, there are different ways of recycling the paper products at home. You can reuse them over and over again and then finally send them to the recycling centre or drop them off in a recycle bin.
Things Required:
– Liquid window cleaning solution
– Shoe polish or silver polish, if needed
