Refuse, Reuse, Rethink, Reduce
Rethinking your daily purchases and consumption can go a long way towards reducing your trash footprint.
Avoid Single Use-Plastic Items
Do the planet a favor! With the exception of new bioplastic options, these are petroleum-based materials, and many of these items are not recyclable!

RECYCLE
There are so many ways to recycle in Sharon, including: curbside single-stream (no plastic bags) and textile recycling,' plastic bags & film at Shaws, tires, scrap metal, large bulky plastics, tires, and electronics at the DPW, & ink cartridges at local retailers. Did we miss anything?
