WALLA WALLA 2020 RECYCLING
Regional Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee
Conservation of Resources
To Conserve Your Personal Resources and Those of Our Community consider the following:
Reducing the use of as many products as possible:
Use durable products rather than disposables: shopping bags, napkins, cups, etc.
Turn off your engine even when you will "only be a moment." Twenty seconds is the cutting line between when it is efficient to leave your motor running or shut it off.
Reusing as many products as possible: Take used clothing, furniture, etc. to a local thrift shop.
Take packing materials and boxes to Pak and Ship for reuse.
Return floral containers to the florist and hangers to the dry cleaners.
Recycling as many products as possible.
Use curbside recycling if you live in the City of Walla Walla and the neighborhood recycling station if you live in Walla Walla County.
Take items that are recyclable but not collected through either of the above systems to Walla Walla Recycling at 827 N. 12th, Telephone 525-1482.
