  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    I looked up my local hauler and they list the things that can and cannot be recycled. The most difficult part of recycling is that we have too many recyclables and they only pick it up once every other week. Our is overflowing.

    Does this start in October? Are we just "warming up" right now?

      Yep, it starts October 3rd! For now, I would recommend you go ahead and explore/select the personal actions you'd like to take during the challenge. I'll send out an email on that as we get closer.
