Waste Disposal Options

Living by the 3 R's (REDUCE, REUSE, RECYLE) is one of the best ways YOU can lessen your impact on the environment.  

Zero waste would be ideal, but in today's society, everyone produces some form of waste - the important question is what do YOU do with it?

Does it really have to go to the landfill?  Oftentimes, the answer is "no".  Many items should never go into a landfill because of their toxicity, other items still have lots of useful life left in them, or could be recycled.  Think before throwing away, and check out the ideas below to help point you in the right direction:

Re-Use Options (to donate gently used goods)
