Reduce - Reuse - Recycle!

Produce Less Waste by Practicing the 3 Rs:*

  • Reduce the amount and toxicity of trash you discard.
  • Reuse containers and products; repair what is broken or give it to someone who can repair it.
  • Recycle as much as possible, which includes buying products with recycled content.
