Environmental Tip of the Week
Say "no" to printed receipts

When you're out shopping, choose to receive an electronic receipt whenever possible. Receipts, like the ones shown here, are not recyclable. Most receipts are made of thermal paper and should be disposed in the garbage. In addition, these receipts contain bisphenol A (BPA), which is an endocrine disruptor, so it is recommended that you discard old receipts rather than hold on to them.⠀
