"Things That Go In The Recycling Bin" lyrics

Soda-pop bottle, junk-mail pile, bean can made outta tin
These are things that go in the recycling bin
Cardboard scraps, outdated maps, lotto card that didn't win
These are things that go in the recycling bin

Bottle caps, paper sacks, old postcards sent from Jim
These are things that go in the recycling bin
Jam jar, wrapper from a candy bar, milk carton low-fat or skim
These are things that go in the recycling bin

Think twice before you go and throw those things in the trashcan
We don't need another junk pile littering our lovely land
That rubber tire can be recycled be reborn a rubber band
Many things can be renewed, reused, and used and used again

Apple core, cold soup du jour, rotten eggs, burnt toast
These are things that go into the compost
Food scraps, stale flapjacks, old driftwood from the coast
These are things that go into the compost

Moldy meals, banana peels, tofu that's gone vile
These are things that go into the compost pile
Avocado pits, crushed potato chips, spoiled juice left out a while
These are things that go into the compost pile

Think twice before you go and throw those greens in the trash can
Mix 'em in the compost for Wilma Worm and all her friends
What her body leaves behind becomes rich soil for the farm land
A healthy home for all the plants to grow and feed us once again

Soda-pop bottle, junk-mail pile, bean can made outta tin
These are things that go in the recycling bin
Cardboard scraps, outdated maps, lotto card that didn't win
These are things that go in the recycling bin
