How to Recycle                                               

• Set up a recycling area in your home by sorting your "recyclables" into different bins, i.e. paper (cardboard, newspaper, magazines, office paper), glass, plastic, cans. Take off the labels and wash containers.
  

• Locate local recycling drop-off bins. (Log on to: State Recycling Guide http://www.utahrecycles.org/html/recycling_guide.htm. This guide is designed to help you find recycling opportunities in your area. )

• Call the recycling hotline to find out if your community has a curbside recycling program. (801-974-6902) (If there is no curbside program in your area, it is best to contact your city council members by letter or phone and ask them to implement a program in your city.)

• Educate others about the importance of recycling.

• Recycle food and yard waste by composting them into valuable organic garden mulch. (Are you wondering, "What is composting and how does it work?"
