Alright, yes, so it may seem self-explanatory in this day and age to recycle. However, not only are there still those who choose to overlook its benefits, but there are also a great deal of items and materials that people do not consider when the do recycle. I am sure that we are all aware of the most common recyclables, those being paper, aluminum cans, and items made of plastic or glass. Some of the more commonly overlooked items that are recyclable may include other metal items such as aluminum foil or clothes hangers, electronics such as computers, printers, and televisions, and household items such as light bulbs and cleaners. Other options include outdoor recycling, such as mulching or composting. Another potential area for recyclable materials  lies in the construction industry. Leftover pieces of carpet, wood, or linoleum can be saved and used on another job or recycled to reduce waste. So be sure to continue recycling those materials that you have been for so long, but the next time you have a piece of what you think may be trash in your hand, check if it can be recycled first, because chances are that it can.
