Landfill Alternatives

Part of minimizing our environmental impact is minimizing the amount of garbage we create. Here are some tips for reducing garbage and contributing less to the landfill:

- Recycle plastic, paper, metal and glass

- Compost fruit and vegetable scraps

- Buy goods with less packaging

- Donate to Throwplace.com; the internet's alternative to landfill. You can contribute new or slightly used items for charities to take for free, throw in used, broken or out-dated items for refurbishing and recycling or for the taking by someone else. Everything on the site is free!

- Donate your used computers and electronic goods to Computer Recycling Center to be refurbished and donated to schools and non-profits

Reuse and recycle what you can and reduce whenever possible!
