Reduce - Reuse - Recycle
If you have recycling collection services at your home or office, did you know that all recyclables, especially those containing food, should be rinsed off before putting them into the bin for collection? Remember: use a bucket or tub in the sink and reuse the rinse water for your garden.
Pay attention to the acceptable recycled materials published by your collection agency. You can do more harm and waste more energy by including items that are not recyclable with the acceptable items.
