Four Simple Ways to Reduce Waste

(Even trying ONE of these will make a difference!)

1. RECYCLE all you can -- If recycling cans in your home outnumber garbage cans, it’s hard NOT to recycle

2. COMPOST your kitchen scraps -- Put a small kitchen compost pail under the sink for fruit and vegetable scraps and peels, transfer to your compost bin outside every couple of days

3. 3. Replace disposable with DURABLES -- Use cloth napkins and towels instead of paper

4. PRE-CYCLE -- Buy items with less packaging and avoid single-service packaging
