In this time of drought, it’s important to remember yet another positive benefit of recycling and composting.

We save 3.5 gallons of water with every pound of paper we recycle – Every 4 pounds of paper recycled saves enough water for a nice refreshing shower!

A quick rinse is all that’s needed – Containers should be empty of solid and liquid contents, but do not need to be pristine in order to be recycled.
