Recycle all recyclable stuff appropriately (bottles, cans, plastic, newspaper and trash bags, cardboard,etc..). Contact your local municipal waste for other items that can be recycled. Recycle all oils and hazardous waste appropriately. If you throw hazardous waste in the garbage or down the drain, it gets to dumps, and from there, seeps into the ground. As a result, it travels to local water supplies or the ocean, polluting these vital environmental resources. Reduce use of hazardous wastes by purchasing environmentally friendly products* To reduce landfill and because its a great cause and tax deductible, give all possible items to charity instead of trash. Many local shopping centers have convenient drop-off stations. To reduce landfill and reduce fertilizing costs, utilize a compost bin to recycle all compostable items.
