How to Recycle

Remember the three R’s of recycling-reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Reduce: Pay attention to packaging. Manufacturers try fancy packaging to attract attention. If consumers are more cautious in their purchases, manufacturers would be forced to make changes. Avoid packaging with excess plastic, Styrofoam and cardboard.

Reuse: Some containers can be used over and over again. Donate clothes and house hold appliances. One mans trash is another mans treasure.

Recycle: It just makes sense!

• Try setting up a small recycling center at your home.
• Have separate bins for HI 5 plastic, glass and aluminum, this makes it easier when it's time to drop off items.
  Create your own recycle bin
• Remove lids and empty containers. Rinse with water to avoid insects.
• Glass is easiest to bring in to redemption centers in cans or buckets. If you use trash bags, please do not over fill where there is a risk of the bag breaking.
