Many people are welcoming spring with open arms and an abundance of trash as they do an annual round of spring cleaning. The Raleigh County Waste Authority offers up some ideas on how to remain green, while you clean and disperse of no-longer wanted or needed household items.
They drive home three straightforward, but often overlooked points: For every load of trash brought to the disposal at the landfill you can also drop off recyclable items. All newspaper, cardboard and aluminum can be, and should be, recycled. Last, the metal from old appliances can be melted down and reused in order to create new products. Raleigh County Officials have crushers on standby to recycle old appliances. They’re also are encouraging residents to donate anything that is unwanted and in decent condition to the new Second Chance Mercantile at the Solid Waste Authority.
It is likely that your town has its own “green” offerings when it comes to recycling and spring cleaning. Reach out to your local Waste Authority to discover what they’re encouraging local residents to do. Being green doesn’t need to be complicated, let’s bring it back to simplicity.
