Chasing Arrows Does Not Mean It's Recyclable
You've seen the symbol known as "chasing arrows" on all sorts of plastic things. You may think it means something is recyclable...or is made from recyclable materials. Unfortunately, it's never that straightforward. This symbol with a number in the middle tells you what type of resin - or plastic - the item is made out of. This means it can give you a CLUE as to whether or not it's recyclable. Some numbers - like #1 are often (but not always - we're looking at you clamshell food containers) recyclable. Other numbers, like #6 (eg. styrofoam cups) or #7 (eg. cell phone cases) are very difficult to process and therefore rarely accepted. Read More & Share!

Level Up Your Recycling Habit
It's time to make a commitment: If something CAN BE recycled at your transfer station or recycling center, then YOU WILL recycle it CONSISTENTLY! Source- Separated: Plastics, glass, paper, cardboard, aluminum cans - be sure to check out what your center takes (especially when it comes to plastic), whether caps should be left on or off, and then go from there. Make sure your items are clean (rinsed) and dry. Cardboard should be broken down. And then it's just a weekly (or biweekly) trip. Read More & Share!

Our clothing, shoe and other textile waste that ends up in landfills has increased 300% since 1990 and it’s not getting any better. In fact, it's getting worse.
It's no longer whether we should donate or recycle our clothing, it's how. AND it's equally important to be purchasing used or recycled clothing as well, to close the circle and truly recycle and reuse! Read More & Share!
