I will teach you how to do it right
(I will teach you!) Listen carefully!
Plastic bottles!
Group all plastic bottles together!
(Leftover drinks?)
Pour out whatever’s inside them!
Peel off the labels, make sure they’re nice and clean
And if you can, crush them flat! (Crush them flat!)
Glass bottles go in a different bin! (Oh, I see!)

(I will teach you!) Listen carefully!
How about paper?
Group all paper products together!
Remove the tape!

Don’t recycle them if they’re wet or dirty, no no no! (No no!)
Stack them so they’re nice and neat (Tie them up, too!)
Coated paper’s not for recycling! (Oh, I see!)
Lots of trash gathered in big bags (Lots of trash!)
All kinds of trash are dumped in one place (Ew!)

we’ll make the Earth smile big and bright!
