Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle, Repair Guide
This Earth Day the Springfield Materials Recycling Facility Advisory Board
(MAB) collaborated with local newspapers on the third annual Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle Guide. The guide published in the Daily Hampshire Gazette and
Greenfield Recorder is specific to Hampshire and Franklin counties.
The guide includes a MRF recycling guide, an article on local resale and
repair shops, “Top 10 Ways To Reduce Household Waste,” "Composting Is
Easy," a Kids’ Page, a quiz called “Are You Waste-Wise," local
reuse options such as area donation centers and resale/ consignment shops, and
a section entitled “What Do I Do With…?” that lists over 70 hard to
dispose of items and their proper disposal procedures. The Community Recycling
Information page lists what items are acceptable at local transfer stations.
The guide can be read in its entirety here: http://www.epageflip.net/title/6199
