Recycling made SIMPLE

Recycling can be hard... Let's make it SIMPLE! In this episode, I'll give you the do's and don'ts of recycling and explain how to read plastic numbers and recycling labels. Just because it has a recycling symbol does NOT mean it's able to be recycled in your single stream pick-up from home.  I'll cover the importance of composting, the staggering amount of waste generated, and a cool solution for those unrecyclable plastics!
