Do you know what the 3R's stand for? The 3R's stand for Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Following the 3R's help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the three R's save land and money communities must use to dispose of waste in landfills. Siting a new landfill has become difficult and more expensive due to environmental regulations and public opposition.
Reduce: The best way to manage waste is to not produce it. This can be done by shopping carefully and being aware of a few guidelines
Reuse: It makes economic and environmental sense to reuse products. Sometimes it takes creativity
Recycle: Recycling is a series of steps that takes a used material and processes, remanufactures, and sells it as a new product. Begin recycling at home and at work
