Ah…. Christmas, the build up, the decorations, the gifts, the food, the love… Christmas Day….
But after the gifts have been opened up and set to task, we are left with lots of packaging materials, some of it made up of Styrofoam. Most of us are pretty good about recycling our paper, cardboard, cans and bottles, but when it comes to styrofoam it usually ends up in the garbage, which in turn ends up in the landfill doing nothing but filling up space….
Happily, the Durham Region waste management program now offers us a solution, they are encouraging everyone to bring clean, white bulky polystyrene (styrofoam) to one of their 3 local waste management facilities for recycling…. It’s Free and helps us all (including nature and wildlife) in the long run… ☺
Recycling turns detergent bottles into all kinds of wonderful things like watering cans…. Recycling works ☺
