recycling ideas that work... |
| From Helen... |
I've been taking Styrofoam packing
boxes and "peanuts" to the mailing business near Food
Lion on Route 1 near the hospital. These items were being thrown
out at work and this packing business seems pleased to have them. |
| From Celia... |
I use rags for cleaning instead of
paper towels. Old socks are great for dusting and polishing, old
T-shirts are super for waxing the car! |
| |
I also save all sheets of paper
that are only printed on one side - then I use it for
brainstorming, playing games, taking notes, test printing, or I
cut it into quarters, staple it and use it as memo pads. |
| From Doris... |
Habitat for Humanity will benefit
from aluminum cans turned in at the Four Mile Fork WISE Co.
(behind the blue house at the corner of US1 & Courthouse Rd) |
| From Mary... |
I re-use envelopes. The ones that
come in the mail as return envelopes I bring to work & use for
office-to-office mail. All my friends also know now not to seal
birthday card envelops (if being given in person!) and I re-use
those as well. |
| |
I also wash out & re-use
plastic baggies & the plastic produce bags from Giant. Of
course I bring my own canvas bags to the grocery store, but when I
forget I use the plastic bags to put my recycling in (as requested
by my trash pick up service). |
| |
I save & re-use wrapping
paper. |
| |
Send Helen
Sanders the ideas that work for you... |
| From Catherine... |
The Goodwill store in the "design center" on Route 3 (just east of I-95) takes fabric for recycling. Just put clean fabric into a bag clearly labeled "RAGS". It's a great option for garments not suitable for resale, as well as miscellaneous cloth items like old chair cushions or sheets. |
| Recycling Facts |
HOW DO AMERICANS FEEL ABOUT REDUCING, REUSING
& RECYCLING??
Newsweek.com's live web vote on question: Do you consistently
reduce, reuse and recycle?
(Out of 1,869 responses, 73% said, YES!)
52% --Yes, we should do our part.
21% --Yes, but I suspect it all gets thrown in the dump anyway
15% --No, I think it's a crock.
12% --No,sorry, it's just too confusing & time-consuming |
| Each week, the average family produces 100
pounds of trash, and we're running out of space to bury it. |
| Studies show that at least 25% of trash could
be recycled! |
