November 15th is America Recycles Day and Matthew Kautzky, our Director of Facilities & Sustainability, has four easy suggestions on how to make earth friendly choices a habit:
• Electronics to recycle. Wondering what to do with non-working electronics? Donate your computers, laptops, monitors, printers, cables, scanners, speakers, DVDs, gaming systems, cameras, and more to Goodwill! Through our partner programs, Goodwill will responsibly recycle for you!
• Declutter and donate. Simplify your space by keeping what you need and donating the rest to our local donation centers. Your secondhand items will find new homes, all while staying out of landfills.
•To scrap or to recycle. Goodwill’s vast sustainability program takes recycling to the next level and includes opportunities to recycle metals, plastics, wood, paper, and so much more.
• Thrift and gift. This year, consider giving thrifted treasures as gifts, and wrap them in reusable materials to reduce waste.
Every year, Goodwill of South Central Wisconsin keeps millions of pounds of clothing, electronics and household items out of landfills through responsible recycling and materials management. Thank you for being part of the GOOD!
