Greenbox Recycling | Recycling for a Cleaner Utah

Paper, plastic, glass and cans aren’t the only items that should be diverted from incinerators and landfills. Reduce the environmental impacts of organic waste by composting food scraps, and by leaving short grass clippings on lawns to decompose. Donate old clothing to homeless shelters, thrift stores, animal shelters and other community organizations. Take advantage of manufacturer take-back programs for your unwanted electronics.

Put collection bins in various places around your home and office to make recycling convenient. Use different bins that follow your city’s recycling policies so you don’t have to separate it out later. If you tend to forget what’s recyclable and what’s not, make a sign and post it near your bins.
