REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Find Local Recycling Depots

Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

Shruti Bhatia 10/18/2018 5:56 AM

Most recycling facilities are not too far from where we live. One of the recycling facilities that I found has a 5 star rating and is only about 20 minutes from where I live. Collecting all of my recyclable items and going there every month does not seem like too much of a hassle.

Its not that hard to make zero waste meals. I found a lot of produce at Whole Foods that comes without any packaging or comes in paper bags.

I learned that zero waste means that you can use recyclable products, which means that you can use products that come in paper bags or recyclable plastic.
