Acknowledging the many dangers facing the environment, Candy Dynamics has issued 10 helpful recycling tips to keep in mind for the upcoming holidays.

For the Holidays Recycle = Re-Use
·When shopping for holiday gifts and groceries, avoid using one-time plastic bags by bringing your own re-usable bags to carry your purchases home in. ·Reuse wrapping paper, bows, ribbons and boxes when preparing gifts for others.
·Use old Christmas cards to make Christmas present name tags by cutting out festive designs from the face of the card.
·Recycle old holiday, greeting and birthday cards by cutting off the face of the card and using it as a post card.
·Reuse old posters, maps, sheet music, Sunday comic pages, and other colorful paper goods that would otherwise be discarded as wrapping paper for holiday gifts.
·Save and reuse packing peanuts from previous gifts when shipping new holiday gifts.
·Reuse metal cookie tins for storing and giving holiday cookies.
·When entertaining place easily identifiable recycling containers at your celebration so guests can recycle their pop cans, bottles, etc.
·Recycle old clothing, toys, and other useful products by donating them to community or charitable organizations that are collecting items for the needy during the holiday season.
·Spread the word. By telling other people and helping them to get started, we increase the savings that can be made. Also get your children involved – if we can educate them early, they will grow up and appreciate waste reduction and will be able to apply these skills in later life.

During the holidays and throughout the entire year it’s important to always remember to recycle paper, plastic, glass, metal and other recyclable materials by depositing them with your local recycling center. To find the recycling center closest to you, log on to www.Earth911.org.
