Did you take part in Global Recycling Day over the weekend? Don't worry if you missed it — you can make a difference every day of the year.
We encourage you to recognize the importance recycling plays in preserving our planet and resources. Take the extra time to make an impact by recycling commonly used items, finding new ways to reuse items before discarding them and inviting others to do the same. Reuse and recycle!
Listed below are a few common items that can be recycled and reused:
Books – donate to charities, libraries, schools and used bookstores
Clothing, shoes and bedding – donate to local non-profits and used clothing stores
Batteries – look for local battery drop off locations, often found at libraries and post offices
Packing materials – many shipping companies take back old packing materials for reuse
Plastic bags – reuse and then deposit in plastic bag recycling bins, found at many grocery stores
