Rethink Holiday Celebrations

'Tis the season to bring cheer and joy to friends and family alike. This year try some fun and creative ways to green your family's holiday season. Here are some great resources:

Remember when tidying up after the holiday celebrations remember to think about what can be recycled before it goes in the blue or green bins!

Items that CAN be recycled:

  • corrugated cardboard
  • boxboard
  • greeting cards
  • many of the boxes that presents come in can be recycled
    (flatten and remove wrapping paper and packing materials)
  • plastic packaging marked with # 1 - 7
    (except Styrofoam)

-drop these off at depots or in your curb side collection bin-

Items that CANNOT be recycled:

  • any traditional wrapping paper tissue paper -  incl. fancy foil and colored/printed wrapping paper
  • styrofoam of any kind
  • styrofoam packing chips
  • styrofoam box liners, or cups

Together we can make "Better Choices for a Better Future"" and make holiday waste a thing of the past.
