And beyond!

The City of St. Petersburg has made a goal to be a waste-free city by 2050, and we all need to do our part to make this a reality. Small everyday actions can make a big impact. We all know and love the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and now there are 6 R’s to help reduce waste:

  1. Refuse products that are destined for the trash after one use

  2. Reduce items that have excess packaging or products you simply don’t need

  3. Repair items in your home when possible, don’t just toss them

  4. Reuse products to reduce waste and save money

  5. Recycle if you can’t refuse, reduce or reuse items

  6. Rot and return nutrients to the soil by composting
