Reduce
The first step in the recycling process is reducing. Here are some tips to reduce the amount of trash we produce.
- Look for containers that can be reused or recycled, like aluminum and glass or ones that can be composted like paper.
- Buy in bulk or concentrated products whenever you can.
- Avoid items that are made to be thrown away after only a few uses like disposable razors or flashlights.
- Look for products you can use over and over again like thermos jars, recharagable batteries, cloth towels, glass plates, etc.
- Look for creative ways to practice source reduction.
