Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Repair
Did you know that RECYCLING is the LAST step after REDUCE & REUSE. Buy quality and repair items instead of buying new or give these things to a responsible group, found at sites such as www.Freecycle.org , Last Chance Mercantile or other reuse stores. Zero Waste is obtainable. Read below for more information.
Reduce
- Prevent waste in the first place.
- Choose durable goods and reusable products.
- Look for "refillable" and "rechargeable" products, such as batteries, while reducing waste.
- Stop Junk Mail now! Get off Junk Mail lists. Remember recycling is used when all else fails. Eliminate catalogs that you receive and do not read by contacting the companies or mailing back the tag with your name and information on it.
- Buy bulk items, concentrates and products with less packaging. Packaging is nearly one-third of the cost of our purchases and an even greater percentage of our trash.
- Switch to reusable bags, such as cloth bags. Recycle plastic bags in your curbside bin with the Bag your Bag and Tie Program.
- Make all picnics, parties or family gatherings Zero Waste events.
- Switch to energy and water conserving appliances in your home or business. Rebate programs help offset the costs of switching and are yet another way to help you save energy, money and our environment's natural resources
