Recycle Tips

  • Don’t choose plastic if there’s another option.
  • Don’t re-use plastic bottles. They’re meant for a one-time use. Several uses can allow the chemicals to leach into food and drinks.
  • Use stainless steel or glass instead of plastic.
  • Limit the use of plastic wrap.
  • Never use plastic wrap in the microwave.
  • Never cover hot food with plastic wrap. Consider using a plate as a cover. Or use a glass bottle with a lid.
  • Recycle plastic bottles to keep them out of the landfills.
  • Buy concentrated, non-toxic cleaning products. You’ll pay less and recycle less plastic. Non-toxic products are safe for your family, your home and the planet.
