How can I help with solutions to Solid Waste Disposal? First, Remember to Reduce, Reuse, then Recycle.
Source Reduction is the first and possibly most important
component for reducing waste disposal problems. If we use less,
there's less waste. This saves energy, natural resources and the
need for disposal.
Second, Reuse items for other purposes. This is a type of
recycling. Renovate instead of demolish. Reuse the clean side of
paper for everyday printing in your computer printer. Wash out rags
and reuse them. Rescue scrap building materials from the waste stream
and put them to use. Let others find ways to use discards such as
clothing, household goods, etc. Use organic matter as compost.
Then Recycle. Paper, plastic, tires, batteries, steel, aluminum,
glass, oil, etc. |
