Waste Management (WM)

[quarterdeck1]

Waste Management offers the following tips for a green Christmas:

When wrapping presents, look for alternatives to buying new wrapping paper. This will save on costs and ensure that leftover paper does not go to waste.
Remember to bring reusable shopping bags with you to the mall as well as the grocery store, to help reduce the amount of plastic bags in the waste stream.
When those new toys come in, make sure the old ones do not end up in the trash. Find a local consignment store or shelter where you can donate old, working devices and clothing.
Don't be shy, re-gift! Re-gifting unwanted presents cuts back on holiday spending and waste.
Recycle your Christmas tree! Many communities have tree-mulching programs that will compost your tree after the holidays. Contact your community's works department to find out if there's a program in your community.
