In fact, 60% of households are now recycling more than a year ago due to environmental concerns. But there\u2019s still more that can be done to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>If you put a plastic bottle in the bin, you might think \u2018it\u2019s just one bottle\u2019, but what if we all thought that? With a population of 66 million people in the UK, that\u2019s a lot of plastic bottles going to waste and damaging our environment. The plastics from items such as bottles and carrier bags that end up in our oceans kill around 1,000,000 sea creatures every year.<\/p>\n<p>However, by recycling just 1 plastic bottle, you\u2019ll not only reduce the impact on our oceans and sea creatures, but you could power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours with the energy saved by recycling. Multiply that power by 66 million, and that\u2019s a lot of energy saved just from one small action.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just plastic bottles that can be recycled. Whether it\u2019s the cardboard from your takeaway box or the glass bottle from your drink, think before you bin it. A lot of the items you use every day come in packing and containers that can be recycled.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a summary of the common items that can be recycled across our Host accommodations*.<\/p>\n<h2>What can go in my recycling bin?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10820\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/recycling-paper.jpg\" alt=\"recycling-paper\" width=\"258\" height=\"275\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10817\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/recycling-glass-containers.jpg\" alt=\"recycling-glass-containers\" width=\"258\" height=\"276\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10818\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/recycling-metal-containers.jpg\" alt=\"recycling-metal-containers\" width=\"258\" height=\"276\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10821\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/recycling-plastic-containers.jpg\" alt=\"recycling-plastic-containers\" width=\"258\" height=\"277\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10816\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/recycling-cartons.jpg\" alt=\"recycling-cartons\" width=\"261\" height=\"276\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10819\" src=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/recycling-other.jpg\" alt=\"recycling-other\" width=\"258\" height=\"275\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re recycling, please remember to rinse any food packaging and remove lids.<\/p>\n<h4>What doesn&#8217;t go in my recycling bin?<\/h4>\n<p>No carrier bags, plastic bags or bin liners &#8211; put them in your rubbish bin.
