Prevent Recycling Contamination
Do at Home
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
My husband and I are currently covering our front yard with native trees & have already seen so many butterflies! Native trees shown are two Bay Cedars & a Sea Lavender.
I was interested in this challenge because I already try to be conscious about single use plastic and other environmental issues. So I love that this site is here to keep me accountable.
