Natural Resource Tips!

Tip 1:  Remember to take your old computer, DVD unit, or other electronics to an electronics recycling center.

Reusing and recycling materials like copper, gold, silver and others saves natural resources and reduces mining and processing.

Re-Cycling is a real plus and also helps avoid land, air, and water pollution by capturing and reusing hazardous substances such as lead, chromium and others

Tip 2:   Remember to max the full load!

Did you know that the average washing machine uses 40.9 gallons of water per load? If you buy a new washer,  make it a priority to shop for a high-efficiency washer that needs less than 28 gallons of water per load. To achieve even greater savings, make it your goal to wash only full loads of laundry or be sure to choose the appropriate load size on the washing machine

Tip 3:  Environmental Focus – Deciding to wait for the storm to pass!


Be Smart – Don’t fertilize before a rain storm. Your fertilizer – along with your money – can just wash off your lawn and down the storm drain wasting resources. Fertilizer runoff can pollute rivers, lakes, and bays, and cause problems in recreational areas, fishing areas, etc..  Check the weather forecast before you head out, and wait for the storm to pass.

Tip 4:  It is so important to get the lead out!

If you’re doing work on an older home or school building, be sure to follow lead-safe work practices to the “t”.

Make it a top priority to contain the work area and keep kids and animals away.  Do your best to minimize dust and clean up thoroughly.

Lead is harmful to adults and children, and common renovation jobs like sanding, cutting, or demolition can create lead dust and chips.
