We have two containers in the kitchen, one is trash and one is for recycling. I'm trying to figure out an easy way to teach the girls what goes where. If I say, 'this one goes in recycling' they know which bin it is, but sometimes I find food in there or boxes in the trash. Is there an easy way to teach this to younger kids?

My 7 yr old is good at this but my 5 yr old still isn't sure - most things have a recycling symbol on the bottom so I have been having her look there first

E loves the recycling song from Peppa Pig. It specifies tin cans, bottles and newspapers and, at the moment, I'm just working on those three.

I think just repitition. DD1 almost 4, knows that garbage goes in the front bin and recycling such as paper goes in the other one.

What about taping a sheet to each bin with pictures of what goes in each?
