Did you know that...

20% to 40% of our trash could be avoided by Waste Reduction and Composting:
  • Composting yard wastes and food scraps makes better soil and uses less water. It makes sense not to fill our landfills with yard wastes.
  • Packaging - avoid when possible
  • Bulk - buy in large quantities
  • Bags - reuse, then recycle
  • Avoid single - use items
  • Paper - use both sides, then recycle
  • Batteries - use rechargeable
  • Rags instead of paper
  • Diapers - use cloth

 

Buy recyclable products, keep the cycle going!!!
