Recycle

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

That catchy phrase is not in alphabetical order. It is in order of priority. In addition to the familiar "R" of recycle, the other two "R's are important as well to the overall health of our communities. Have you thought about how much you toss in the garbage each day? It is probably more than you think.

Reducing the amount of waste we generate can be as simple as choosing reusable items, like shopping bags and food containers. Small changes can make big differences.
