Earth Month
Week 3: Recycling
Recycling is a simple way to make a positive impact on our environment. By properly disposing of recyclable materials such as plastic, paper and metal, we can reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and conserve valuable resources.
In addition to recycling, reducing waste is also important. Consider purchasing products with minimal packaging, bring reusable bags and containers when shopping, and compost your food waste. These small actions can significantly reduce the amount of waste produced by our community.
Did you know the Coon Rapids Recycling Center takes many hard-to-recycle items like organic food waste, appliances, books, clothing and electronics? Learn more at coonrapidsmn.gov/recycling.
Earth Month Action, Week 3:
Visit the Coon Rapids Recycling Center and pick up a free bag of compost made from last year’s organics food waste to get a jump start on your spring gardening. This is available to registered users of our Organics Program. You can register to participate in the Organics Program when you go to pick up a bag of free compost.
Available while supplies last! Only one bag per household.
