Spring Greening Tips

SPRING GREENING

Spring is here and it's time for some green cleaning! Before you go through your belongings and decide to throw away them in the garbage can, be sure to sort out the contents in your pile.

Used clothing can be donated to local charities and organizations for reuse and distribution amongst those less fortunate than we are. The same should be done with old toys and board games.

Outdated electronic equipment should also be disposed of properly. You can go to your local post office and ask for a specific envelop used to mail away your old electronics such as cell phones, ink cartridges, and music players for recycle. Companies like Sony will be conducting large scale ‘throw your old electronics' days in select locations and give away new electronic gifts in exchange as an incentive.

Be sure to also sort out paper, plastics and other materials that can be placed in the recycling bin instead of the trash can. Minimizing waste will certainly help the environment and keep landfills to a minimum. Don't forget about expired foods as well as these can be composted and used to fertilize your garden. Remember, recycle and reuse your belongings. Don't just throw them in the trash!
