For Kids - Do You Know?
You can recycle up to 84 percent of your trash simply by taking it out of the garbage can and putting it in the recycling bin. Items made from recycled materials take far less energy and create only a fraction of the pollution to produce than items made from brand new materials. And of course, imagine the natural resources that are saved!

Here are some great tips for reducing, reusing, and recycling:

  • Buy only what you need and use all of what you buy.

  • Avoid buying things that use excessive packaging and buy in bulk.

  • Buy durable things that will last a long time.

  • When things break, see if they can be fixed before throwing them away.

  • Wash and reuse plastic cups, utensils and bags.

  • Precycle by buying products whose packaging can be recycled.

  • And always bring your own bag! If you are just buying a few things just carry them in your hands.

  • Complete the cycle and buy products made from recycled materials. When you buy products made from post-consumer recycled materials you are helping to reduce carbon emissions and saving resources.
