Green Tip of the Day

Over 32 percent of our solid waste is some sort of packaging, and much of this ends up in our kitchen. Depending on your community’s curbside program, you should set up one bin for all recyclables or a different bin for each one. Make sure you are recycling:

  • Aluminum cans
  • Glass bottles
  • Paper (including mail and cardboard boxes)
  • Plastic bottles
  • Steel cans
