This Section is Different!

Sometimes being different is a good thing. This is especially true for our Reduce & Reuse section. There are many items that do not need to be thrown away but can't be put into your blue recycling bin or yard waste container. That's where this section comes in. Check out the many ways to reduce your waste, reuse items, and finally recycle things that can't go into your recycling bin. This section will take you above and beyond the average recycler!
