Recycle Everything I Can

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

    On my camping trip this weekend, I shared my goals for the EcoChallenge with my friends.  I encouraged everyone with me to reduce their waste and avoid using disposable items.
