Reduce Your Waste Tips

1. Reduce the amount of food waste

2.Use fewer single use plastics, by bringing your own reusable coffee cup, water bottle and bag.

3.Fix things that are broken instead of buying new. Flagstaff has fixit clinics 3-4 times a year

4.Use the Hazardous Products Center and Bulky Trash Pick-up for items such as paint/chemicals and large items.

5.Shop locally and support local business.

6.Eat more low carbon foods, such as minimally processed foods, fruit, grains and vegetables.

Recycling Plastic such asgrocery/or store bags

I learned there are many more things you can add to this recycle:

  Newspaper bags

  Ziplock bags - you don't need to remove the ziplock. Remember these are washable and reusable.

  Saran Wrap

  Packing plastic and air puff fillers with air out

Many stores take them:

   All the groceries

   Target

   Walmart

 Recycling them uses less energy than most items and it is easy.
