Recycling Resouces
Recycle-Reuse-Reduce
Recycling has so many faces other than tossing an empty bottle into the recycling bin. Thank heavens recycling bins have become common place in residential and commercial spaces. Back in the early days, recycling meant a dump run with a trunk load of paper and metals. Hardly anyone took plastics.
Fast forward to where most towns have a municipal curbside recycling program! Empty bottles, cans, plastics, papers and cardboard now can easily recycled.
What else can you do with stuff that you no longer need that still has some life in it? Think creatively!
