Recycle Everything I Can

Recycling; Recycled Metals; Recycled Plastics

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

Practice the 5 Rs

Recycling

I will practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

    How could you incorporate other "Rs" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "Rs" make you feel?

    Reproduce - make bread instead of buying bread. Plant seeds from fruit to grow new fruit.

    What are some more "Rs" you could add to your daily practice to reduce your waste?

    Donate to charitable organization like Goodwill or Salvation Army instead of throwing away. Find a new purpose for what you are not wanting to use for its intended purpose.
