Recycle Right at Home with these Tips
- Packaging is Key – Purchase products with minimal or recyclable packaging to reduce the amount of material sent to the landfill.
- How Clean Should They Be? Don’t obsess over how clean your recyclables are. The main goal is to make sure they’re empty and give them a quick rinse if needed.
- Go Paperless – Opt for an e-receipt when at the store and consider digital subscriptions for your favorite magazines.
- Size Matters – Items such as bottle and jug caps and metal can tabs are too small to be recycled alone. Either leave them on bottles and cans and recycle them together or discard individual caps and tabs in the trash.
- Recycle Solar Eclipse Glasses – Drop off your gently used eclipse glasses at one of these participating locations and help make the future brighter and safer for young stargazers.
