| How Can I Help? |
There are other ways we can conserve resources to help our community waste management program succeed. By using recycled products, we encourage more manufacturers to use recycled materials. The more they use recycled materials the greater our recycling success! Check the labels, and buy products made from recycled material. Here are some other tips:
- Buy products in bulk and those with little or no packaging.
- Purchase fewer disposable items. Use ceramic mugs, cloth towels and reusable shopping bags.
- Repair or donate appliances and clothing rather than discarding them.
