Reduce your waste-line!
Here are some tips to keep your waste-line down:
- Watch your portion size - purchase products that have minimal packaging and reuse whatever possible.
- Take your vitamins - in the spring and summer put your vegetable scrpas in a backyard composter. The compost provides valuable nutrients for gardens.
- Reduce fibre intake - recycle your cardboard, newspaper and other paper products. If you receive waste collection from Strathcona County, put it out every week for collection at your house. You can also bring paper products to your nearest recycle station.
- Eliminate empty calories - plastics do not break down in a landfill. Recycle your plastic products at a recycle station or if you receive waste collection from Strathcona County, put plastics out in a clear blue bag for collection at your house.
- Exercise your give and take - donate lightly used goods to charity, or trade them with neighbours.
Reusing saves energy, money and landfill space!
