recycles The 3 Rs

• Buy products in concentrate or bulk• Avoid products with toxic ingredients• Repair or maintain equipment• Buy more durable products• Buy items made from recycled materials• Remove your name from junk-mail lists

Reduce

• Reuse cloth, paper or plastic bags for shop-ping (keep them in your car)

• Share magazines with neighbors and friends• Compost yard and food waste• Use flatware or reusable plastic items for

parties (collect in a separate bin)

• It WORKS! Americans recycled (and composted) 34% of our waste last year

• Blaine County recycled 2,887,200 pounds last year

When it comes to environmental impact, recycling, waste reduction and reusing products are all important activities that save energy and save money.
