Celebrate America Recycles Day with Us |
America Recycles Day, held on November 15, highlights the actions we can all take to collectively address the challenges facing our nation’s recycling system, as well as how to be more mindful of what we consume, where and how to properly recycle, and how to recycle more and recycle right in everyday life.
Take this day to recognize the economic, environmental, and social benefits of recycling - it creates jobs, reduces landfill waste, and conserves our natural resources such as oceans and forests. We encourage you to check out the inspiring Tale of Two Landfills visual as a reminder of what your recycling efforts can do to make a difference. If you're already an expert on the benefits of recycling, this is your chance to educate and motivate your friends, family, and community!
Join us in taking the #BeRecycled pledge to show your commitment to keeping our planet healthy. This pledge acts as a promise to learn what materials are accepted in your community and to reduce the amount of waste you produce. |

Eco-Friendly Dining for All Occasions...
Including Thanksgiving!
|
|
Bring out the "fancy" dinnerware! We want to remind our communities that all polystyrene plates, bowls and cups are not accepted for recycling with RRRASOC. To avoid excessive landfilling, we encourage our member communities to choose reusable dinnerware for gatherings. This can include ceramic, china, glassware, and even bamboo.
If you don't have enough place settings, ask your guests to bring their own and when dinner is served, ask your guests to sit at a setting that doesn't belong to them. This can lead to fun discussion starters and easing your guests into meeting people they may not know. As for washing, ask your guests to join in and it will be done in a jiffy!
