Holiday Recycling Tips

Purchase holiday cards and wrapping paper that is labeled “made from” recycled material and better yet labeled “made from post-consumer” recycled material.
Purchase holiday cards and wrapping paper that can be recycled. Foils and multi-layer cards with non-paper layers are not easily recycled.
Purchase holiday and year-round cards that are remade from old cards. St Jude Ranch for children creates these cards as a fundraiser and learning tool.
Use one of the recycling drop-off sites if you have more recyclables than will fit in your bin.
As you are receiving those online orders shipped direct to your door, please make sure the boxes are recycled.
Properly dispose of your old computer that’s been replaced by a newer model. Disposing varies from recycling materials, to reusing components by a charitable organization. Earth 911, a non-profit corporation, has a listing of companies all across the nation. Visit their website Earth911.com, to learn more.
Recycle your natural Christmas tree at one of the metro area collection sites.
Remove your name from mailing lists of any catalogs you no longer wish to receive.
Give environmental gifts like reusable tote bags, lunch bags, travel mugs, house plants, bird feeders, bird houses, homemade foods and handmade items.
