Repair:
Fix the items you can before tossing them out.

Rot:
Kitchen scraps and yard trimmings are almost too valuable to end up in a landfill!
- Children tend to love to compost and learn a lot about science when encouraged to participate.
- Save $ by reducing your trash container size by composting, on average 40% of a household trash bin is compostable or recyclable!
- Like a good garden? Compost makes great soil!
Recycle:
The last option when disposing of items that aren’t going to end up in a landfill.
- Recycle your cans and bottles in your recycling container or your local buyback center!
- Donate your old and unused electronics to your local recycler. They will decide if it’s fixable, for parts, or if it’s ready, it will be sent to their reputable e-waste recycling parter to begin the electronic waste recycling process
- Breakdown the boxes your purchased items come in, and recycle them in your recycling container instead of your trash can.
Remember to donate your old and unused electronics with UpcycleTech Foundation!
