REDUCE WASTE

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Produce Less Waste by Practicing the 5 Rs:

- Reduce the amount and toxicity of trash you discard.

- Reuse containers and products; repair what is broken or give it to someone who can repair it.

- Recycle as much as possible, which includes buying products with recycled content.
