Back-to-school shopping doesn’t have to mean extra waste! Before you buy, check what supplies you already have. Reuse last year’s backpack, pens, notebooks and lunch bag! If you do need to get something…

Go thrifting for gently used, “new to you” clothes and supplies.

Check out Buy Nothing or FreeCycle online groups in your area.

Choose reusable water bottles, utensils, lunch containers, snack bags and cloth napkins.

Follow your child’s teachers’ supply list to avoid buying extras.

Consider refurbished or second-hand tech if your child needs a device. Look for certified providers like BackMarket.com or Best Buy’s Refurbished Electronics Outlet.

Small swaps can help reduce waste, save money and make this school year a little greener! 🌎✨

The Still Good Shed at the Milford Transfer & Recycling Center is in need of additional volunteers who can donate some of their time to organizing and sorting the incoming items. This will enable the Still Good Shed to be open more. Please contact the Supervisor of the Transfer Station for an application and more information.

Bring your televisions, keyboards, computers, printers, mice to the office of the Milford NH Transfer station.

Electronics don't belong in your trash or recycling bin.

It might seem convenient to toss a broken keyboard or old laptop, outdated printer, or tangled charging cables in the garbage, but electronics require specialized handling. Many devices contain valuable materials that can be recovered and reused, as well as components that should be managed responsibly to help protect our environment.

When electronics are thrown away with household waste, those resources are lost. Choosing to recycle your unwanted technology helps conserve raw materials, supports the circular economy, and ensures your devices are processed through certified recycling practices.

At URT, we make it easy to recycle electronics safely, securely, and responsibly. Whether you're cleaning out a junk drawer, upgrading your home office, or disposing of old business equipment, we're here to help.

Before you put it at the curb, ask yourself:
Could this be recycled instead? The answer is often yes.

Join us for a Plastic Free July World Record Attempt -1 July

On Wednesday 1 July we're attempting to set a World Record for the most people refusing single-use plastic in a single day - and we'd love the Reuse Solutions Network to be part of it.
Making a pledge takes just a minute at plasticfreejuly.org/pledge - and doing it as a team makes it count even more. Upload a group photo, enter the number of people, and every single person in that photo counts toward the record.

"Take the Plastic Free July® Pledge and join millions reducing plastic waste. Start your plastic-free journey today."

Most people aren't taught about the safety or hazards of consumer products. We trust that everything we find in the store is safe. Here's an opportunity to learn about everyday food, cosmetics and personal care items and the healthiest options for us and family members.
