Seasons Greetings, December 2022

As they say, it's the most wonderful time of the year

and we are so grateful to be of service to you. Thanks for doing your part and recycling smart!

Sustainability is In Season


Keep it jolly and sustainable this gift-giving season with these tips!


Gift your time! Check in on loved ones with a call or visit and let them know you're thinking of them during this holiday season.

Get creative! Last-minute doesn't have to mean braving the stores. Using common household items, repurpose them into something thoughtful and handmade.

Give an experience! There are so many incredible things to do in our area that are worth exploring. Make a coupon for "Time to Hike", give a gift card to a local restaurant, museum passes, spa day, or so many others. Memories last much longer than "stuff".

Thrift! Thrifting has really come a long way and has helped promote a circular economy, while also creating jobs in our service area. If a physical wrapped present is the only way to go, consider sprucing up a pre-loved item.

Wrap it in style! Extra fabric around the house? Last-year's wrapping paper collecting dust? Paper bags collecting under the sink? All of these make the perfect wrapping paper without having to spend another dime or create extra waste.


 

Drop Off Your String Lights


Bring your unwanted holiday lights to us for recycling - free of charge to residents! Stop by any of our three locations with your lights and let us take care of the rest.

Sharps Injury Prevention Awareness Month


December is International Sharps Injury Prevention Awareness Month! So, what are sharps? Sharps include items such as needles, syringes, and lancets, and dumping or improper disposal of sharps is illegal and dangerous to the public. People exposed to sharps in parks, at community clean-up events or in landfill and recycling facilities face the risk of a painful stick or even contracting dangerous diseases. The good news is that these injuries are preventable and there are many ways to properly dispose of sharps. Learn how by using the button below.

**Please note: Our Sun Street HHW location has moved to 1104 Madison Lane**
