I’m a big recycler, so I when I came across this article I thought it was worth sharing. There are a lot of things we can do to create less trash. This is perfect as we all start to think about spring cleaning! Here are the highlights:
- Consider recycling all paper and paperboard that comes into your home. If paper is free of food, it can be recycled.
- Don’t throw any the leftovers! Nearly 1/3 of of our trash is food, needlessly filling up the landfills.
- E-waste is a big problem. There are great electronics recycling programs in St. Charles and St. Louis, so take advantage of them.
- Reuse things that you might just be inclined to throw away – use your imagination to re-purpose things into storage or other ideas!
- Don’t throw away good clothes – again there are many wonderful organizations across St. Louis and St. Charles that you can donate them to. Or try selling them on eBay or at local consignment shops.
- A lot of trash we create is based on what we buy. Don’t buy paper plates or bottled water. Think about the trash you are creating with the products you are purchasing, from meals to electronics, in regard to the way they are packaged.
