Yellow container

Among Emuca’s recycled rubbish bins, this one has a 12-litre capacity. In it are the plastic containers, cans and tetrabricks. An example of this are:
  • Food cans.
  • Plastic bottles and bags.
  • Plastic caps, sheets and metal.
  • Deodorant containers.
  • Film and aluminum foil.
  • Aluminum trays.
  • Tetrabrick containers, like those for milk.
  • White cork trays (like porexpan).
  • Yogurt containers.
Although it is the container for plastic, not all plastic items can be disposed of in it. For example, plastic toys, kitchen utensils, Tupperware, aluminum coffee capsules, baby bottles, etc. must be deposited in other specific containers.

Blue container

It has a capacity of 6 liters and is designed for recycling everything that is made of paper or cardboard, some examples of this are:
  • Paper bags.
  • Egg carton.
  • Cardboard boxes.
  • Booklets and advertising brochures.
  • Newspapers and magazines.
  • Cardboard tubes from toilet and kitchen paper rolls.
In addition, it is important to know that papers impregnated with oil or other similar material are disposed of in the organic waste container.

Green container

Like the blue garbage can, this is one of the recycled garbage bins that has a 6-liter capacity. It is intended for glass containers, always after removing the labels and plastic caps or other materials. A very common mistake is to think that glass objects are also recycled in this container. However, it is a different material that requires a different recycling process. Thus, glass bulbs, mirrors, and crockery must be transferred to a clean point for proper recycling. Watch out!

Red container

These Emuca recycled garbage bins have a capacity of 12 liters and all organic waste is disposed of in them. That is to say:
  • Fruit pits.
  • Eggshells.
  • Nuts.
  • Remains of fruits, cereals, vegetables, legumes and vegetables.
  • Dry leaves and plants.
  • Remains of bread and cookies.
  • Other biodegradable waste, such as kitchen paper and napkins.
  • Tea bags.
  • Coffee remains.
  • Meat, fish, seafood, etc.
Some products that do not go in this container are the things of humans or animals (like diapers, for example). Nor should we throw stones, sand, garden soil, etc.

7 tips to fill your home with comfort with Emuca recycled garbage bins

Although it is very simple in theory, it is not always known how to recycle in a practical way. As we want to make your life easier, here are some tips for using your Emuca recycled garbage bins:
  1. Read the labels and containers: many times the information on how to recycle the container is on its label.
  2. Learn what to do with special waste: batteries, electronic materials, oils and medicines cannot go in Emuca recycled rubbish bins due to their toxicity. One solution for this is to transfer them to clean points, where they will be given the appropriate treatment.
  3. Recycle cooking oil: You can store used oil in glass containers and then take them to a recycling point. Whatever you do, please never flush it down the toilet.
  4. Clean food containers before throwing them into the container, such as cans or jars.
  5. Reduce the size of the bottles and tetrabricks, so you can make better use of the container space.
  6. Involve your whole family: in this way, it will be teamwork and the little ones will be made aware, passing these habits from generation to generation.
  7. Separate waste into separate containers: using the Emuca recycled rubbish bins sorting is easier. Also, as they are made to go inside drawers, they do not take up space in your home and will be discreet.
