#DYK Americans use 100 billion plastic bags every year, and single-use trick-or-treat bags only add to the problem. If you are going to trick-or-treat in your area this year, ditch the plastic bag and opt for something reusable, like a pillowcase, backpack, or tote bag! ♻️💪🎃🍬

Recycling Tip Tuesday: Halloween Edition 🎃
Instead of buying a new costume that’s packaged in plastic that can’t be recycled in your curbside recycling bin, use what you have at home to make your costume. You can even make a costume out of a pizza box. 🙌📦♻️

Recycle Tip Tuesday
Do not put your recyclables in plastic bags. Plastic bags get jammed in the recycling processing equipment, which causes recycling to be expensive to process.
Even when recyclable material is placed in a translucent bag, it is still in a bag and likely to not be recovered. Give your recycling the best chance by keeping it empty, dry and loose.
