Where can I RECYCLE? Why should you Recycle?
What is Recycling? Simply put, recycling is the act of reviving a product at the end of its life by using it to create something new. Doing so limits the amount of waste taking up space in landfills, and making new products out of old ones helps to reduce the expenditure of energy used in production.
How Does South Moon Under Recycle? From the exterior of our buildings, which are made with recycled metals, engineered lumber products, and wood chips, to the inside, where we have covered the floors with carpet made of recycled soda bottles, South Moon Under is doing all we can to get the most out of the Earth’s materials. Aside from our recycled building materials, we use paper shopping bags for all of your fabulous purchases, and send all plastic, aluminum, and paper products to be recycled. We throw NOTHING away, even restoring our old electronics. These steps require nothing but a conscious effort and we reap the benefits in good karma! Simple Recycling Tips for You:
1. Create a recycle bin for all of your paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum. If your trash company doesn’t pick up recyclable materials visit http://earth911.com/ to find a vendor near you.
2. Try to buy products/materials made from recycled materials. Purchase paper products that were recycled using a minimum of 50% post-consumer waste. Commonly used recycled materials, click here.
3. Recycle all ink cartridges, and electronics.
4. Donate old tires and sneakers, the rubber can be reused!
5. Leave grass clippings in the lawn as fertilizer – non-chemical so no dangerous runoff!
