Today is #GlobalRecyclingDay! ♻ Clean out your soup cans and sauce bottles before placing them in the recycle bin Soft plastics like candy wrappers and chip bags should go in the landfill bin Keep your plastic bottle caps screwed on so they don’t fall through the cracks

Go natural when possible: Native plants, compost, and integrated pest management reduce chemical needs. Dispose responsibly: Never rinse leftover chemicals into storm drains or dump on impervious surfaces, like driveways or streets, where it can more easily wash into them. ⬇️
