The 3 R’s of Caring for Our Environment:
Reduce - Purchase items that are packaged in recyclable materials. This helps eliminate the items that are not accepted.
Reuse - Be creative. Turn an empty coffee can into a handy storage container for anything from buttons to bolts and screws.
Recycle - Conserve energy, landfill space, and natural resources.
