REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE & RE-THINK

REDUCE the amount of garbage you generate by purchasing and using products wisely, thereby conserving our precious natural resources and landfill space. YOU CAN:

• Purchase food in bulk or concentrate.
• Avoid plastic and products that are neither reusable or easily recyclable.
• Share magazines and newspaper subscriptions with friends.
• Recycle by purchasing products in recyclable containers, such as aluminum, steel, glass, paper, cardboard and "certain types" of plastics.

REUSE Products whenever possible. YOU CAN:

• Use products that are made to be used many times, such as cloth diapers, cloth napkins, towels, rags, sponges, or silverware.
• Use the backside of paper to take notes and do scratch work.
• Look into purchasing used goods at second hand stores and garage sales.
• Bring your grocery, produce bags back to the supermarket, and reuse them.

RECYCLE all materials possible. YOU CAN:

• Help establish and promote recycling programs.
• Make a compost pile to recycle food scraps and yard trimmings.
• Recycle your used motor oil and car batteries at a local service station.
