The Wisconsin DNR has some great tips to reduce, reuse and recycle in 2012. More helpful information on recycling can be found by clicking here.
Reduce
- Purchase only what food and other supplies you need. Purchasing less means you’ll have less to dispose of later.
- Opt out of junk-mail by registering with the Direct Marketing Association. www.dmachoice.org [exit DNR]
- Avoid creating trash whenever possible. When ordering food, don’t take any unnecessary plastic utensils, straws, etc. (ask in advance), don't accept "free" promotional products and buy products with the least amount of packaging.
- Pack a waste-free lunch with no throwaway bags, containers, plastic wrap, etc. Use reusable containers to store food instead.
- Avoid single-use items like juice boxes, soda bottles, paper dinnerware or plastic utensils. Buy cleaning supplies and other non-perishable materials in bulk to cut down on packaging.
Reuse
- Donate usable clothing, appliances, furniture and other items to nonprofits or secondhand stores in your area. Not only will you reduce the amount of waste you produce, you’ll also help others in your community.
- Switch from disposable to reusable items like plastic or metal food or beverage containers, refillable razors and pens, and washable kitchen towels and diapers.
- When remodeling or making improvements to your home, donate usable items like cabinets, lighting, appliances, lumber, flooring and windows to construction resale shops. Habitat Restores www.habitat.org [exit DNR] are a great option.
- Start a swap with your friends or coworkers to trade items like books, clothing, computer equipment and games. Something you’re no longer interested in could be a great find for a friend.
- Bring your own shopping bags to the grocery store, mall and other stores.
Recycle
- Recycle in your home and workplace. Many communities have expanded the range of materials they collect – you may be surprised at what new materials are being collected. To see what recyclables are accepted by your community, read the town brochure above.
- Clear out the electronics that have been collecting dust in your closet. E-Cycle Wisconsin offers a list of recyclers for televisions, computers, computer accessories and more. Most items can be collected for a small fee or for free.

| Why Recycle?
Recycling is good for our economy. Providing hundreds of community-based jobs, recycling strengthens our Wisconsin economy. By collecting or using recycled materials, finding new markets for materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, and exploring new ways to reduce waste, our recycling industry stimulates economic development and drives real job creation.
