Recycling

What cannot be recycled?

  • The answer to this is actually that there is nothing that can not be recycled. This just means that with a little creativity just about everything you purchase can be recycled.
  • If you can't think of a way to recycle it, don't purchase it again! Only purchase things that you know you can put a second life toward.
