Reduce Waste this Holiday Season

(Wisconsin Radio Network) There're plenty of ways to reduce waste this holiday season.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Waste Reduction Coordinator Jennifer Semrau says you need to take batteries and electronics, such as tablets, laptops, computers and cell phones, to an elecontronic waste facility. They should never go in curbside recycling bins.

Semrau says containers made of steel, aluminum, glass and plastics one and two, as well as cardboard, newspaper, magazines, office paper, and other papers can be recycled in your bin.

Semrau says string lights shouldn’t be recycled, as they can damage recycling equipment. A full list of what can and can’t be recycled can be found on the DNR’s website.
