September Tip - 3 Random Items to Recycle

Well HELLO and welcome to September! September ... where the fall air teases us, the seasonal drinks are showing up on coffee shop menus, and the thoughts of camping fills the air! Yes fall is slowly approaching. This is your favorite (not to boast) blogger's, favorite time of the year! It is also a season of change. The color, the weather, switching from shorts to pants. Well, why not make another change in your fall list. Let's continue in our endeavor to recycle MORE.

We have 3, yes 3 simple items you CAN recycle. Let's pin the category of "Oh, I totally forgot about those", scenario.

1. Did you know: Your card board rolls from your toilet paper can be recycled? But of course! They are cardboard! So instead of tossing the roll into your bathroom trash. Put them aside and toss them into your recycling bin.

2. Did you know: Your cereal boxes, breakfast bar boxes, and pretty much ANY thing that comes in a nice packaged box, can, but of course be recycled. The dye from the color on the boxes does not matter. Instead of seeing your lovely Cheerios come to an end, and sadly tossing them into your trash. Simply break the box down, and toss them in your recycling bin.

3. Did you know: Your empty egg cartons can be recycled. This may not be new information to most of you. But it is one of those items we toss in the trash often with out remembering, "Oh yeah, I should recycle this?!".

3 simple items helping you get the ball rolling on recycling more, we think that's manageable. Once you start recycling, you'll never want to go back. It really is simple to start recycling!
