Recycle your plastic according to resin code

Recycling your plastic is one of the best things to do if you want to live green and save the environment even in your own little way.

If you have observed the recycling sign (a triangle made of 3 arrows), it has a raised number in it from 1-7. Those numbers indicates the type of resin use, which means they can be recycled in different ways.

Resin code 1 – these are Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE) ideal as container for food, beverages, and other items.

Resin code 2 – these are High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), which are perfect as your bottles for non-food items like shampoo, conditioner, liquid laundry detergent and more.
Resin 3 is PVC’s, 4 is LDPE, 5 is PP, 6 is PS, and 7 are others.

To effective recycle your plastic; segregate them according to resin code.

Three-way Switch

The only type of light switches that we know are the ones we see and buy in hardware dealers. These types of switches are known as a single-pole switch, which turns the light on and off with a single flipping of the lever up or down. However, if you are one of those who have homes with hallways or stairs that need a series of lights and needs to be controlled from multiple locations particularly from both ends of the hallway of staircase, then you probably need to have the three-way switches. Three-way switch has three terminal screws including the green grounding screw and got no “on” or “off” mark.
