Creating a Recycling Routine
Creating a consistent Recycling Routine is essential to Recycle Right every time. Here are some steps to take in creating your own:
1) It starts with your purchases: Purchasing products in recyclable packaging is essential to decrease your waste. Thin plastic, mixed material, and Styrofoam packaging is not recyclable and will end up in a landfill. By prioritizing zero waste goods, plastic #1 – #7, cardboard, metal, and glass packaging, you are helping to create a more circular economy.
2) Make sure you’re up to date on recycling education: knowledge is our best defense against recycling contamination. By staying up to date on our website, social medias, and contacting us with any questions, you can prevent waste. Send us a direct message on social media or email wwraeduoutreach@gmail.com
3) But first, you have to collect it: Place a recycling bin next to your trash cans to make recycling as seamless as possible. You can even print out this flyer to keep a handy guide nearby.
5) Lastly, pass it to us: Set aside a specific time in your schedule to visit a WWRA drop off center regularly. Even if you have a curbside bin, you will need to visit a drop off center to recycle glass!
Consistency and convenience is key. What’s your recycling routine?
