Rethink
Landfilling is the end of the road. Can your
discards be donated or recycled? Before
landfilling your discards forever, remember that
they are a resource that may still have value.
Consider donating gently used items that may
still be of use to someone. Recycle what can be
recycled, even beyond what can go in your blue
cart. If your discards have no possible further use,
please practice proper disposal, especially with
potentially hazardous materials.
