Friendly reminder that after you consider how to #REDUCE the waste you create, you should consider what items you can #REUSE on a daily basis! ✅💚♻️ The creation of this waste drains our natural resources and overwhelms our landfills. #ReduceReuseRecycle - in that order!

When recycling, remember to flatten cardboard boxes! ♻ Flattening cardboard boxes makes room for more cardboard boxes - ensuring that we recycle as much as possible. #RecyclingRight in Toledo/Lucas County - it makes a difference! 🌎 #ToledoOhio #Recycle #CorrectRecycling

Please do not bag your recyclables! ♻️ Plastic bags get tangled in recycling machinery, slowing down the process. Recyclables should be clean and loose. When you #RecycleRight, you speed up the recycling process and ensure as much that can be recycled gets recycled.
