Recycling reduces pollution from extraction and manufacturing processes. The environmental and economic premise of recycling is sound: re-using natural resources over and over again, after they have been extracted from the earth. By conserving the dwindling supply of these resources and protecting the few remaining undamaged ecosystems left on the earth, we are preserving them for future generations. Overall, the processes used to make consumer goods from recycled material instead of raw resources is much more energy and water efficient.

Many ordinary household products are hazardous to dispose of and demand careful treatment. If these products are put in the trash or poured down the drain, there is a possibility that they may leak into the ground and contaminate the groundwater - creating a health hazard.
Buy only as much household chemicals as you can use and store any leftovers in lockable containers or cabinets safely away from children.
See the attached list of common household hazardous waste that requires special attention.
