Recycle & Reuse

Recycle and Reuse
Recycle ten aluminum cans a week.
Save enough energy to light a 100-watt incandescent bulb for 35 hours, or a 25-watt compact fluorescent bulb for 140 hours. Plus, it keeps the cans out of our city's landfill.


More actions you can take:

  • Compost your food waste.

  • Pay your bills online to reduce paper.
  • Choose products made with recycled content. Look for the chasing arrows symbol.
  • Recycle newspapers, cans, and bottles.
