Recycling Tips 

HOW TO BEGIN:

Choose a place for the ongoing storage of recyclable materials-garage, basement, office copy room, etc. You will need a box or bag for each type of item that you will be collecting. Having done this, you are well on the way to joining the many concerned people who are making a difference in caring for the environment through reducing the volume of materials being dumped in the landfill.
